I’m walking away and I think I’m finally free
I don't know if this small shadow is still following me
All of these voices in my head
They follow me to bed

Not sure if I have fallen into the abyss
All I hear is a hiss
In the corner there was a hissing snake
I hope this is all fake

The voices got louder
I felt a sense of power
But at the same time I felt scared and weak
I think that this was the peak

I finally climbed out of this nightmare
But I realized life is full of despair
Sometimes life gets screwed up
But that's when you have to get up
