I look in the mirror and what do I see
The biggest loser in the world staring back at me
Tears of blood do stain my cheek
What once was strong is now so weak
Filled with pain, inside I’m dead
No one listens, the things I’ve said
Darkness it heals, it fills my soul
The beast within, does make me whole
Can't take the pain, it cuts too deep
You see the smile, my tearless weep
And on the day when blood doth spill
Will you forgive and love me still
The fire within all burned out
Hold knees to chest I scream and shout
Blackness surrounds and cold closes in
The silence recedes I welcome the din
The chaos the fury, confusion and pain
A maelstrom of feelings tumultuous rain
I'm trapped in this storm with no end in sight
So ready to lay down and give up the fight
Anxiety, depression, whatever the name
A knife in the chest, it's all the same
The voices are screaming, their silence so loud
I pull up the sheets, my burial shroud
5 in the cylinder and 1 in the hole
It only takes one to reach its goal
It only takes one to achieve my goal
It only takes one to free my soul
