Here we go again: breathe deep and count to ten. If my heart can beat any louder, it would jump right out of my chest. Right into the Atlantic, right off my island of panic to a place where my soul can take a rest.
I want to break out but I can't lose what I have. Can't venture to the unknown; I'm trapped inside my comfort zone.
Here we go again: these symptoms are my closest friends and they call me often, more often than debt collectors. I collect all the reasons to get the help I need. And the reasons I feel I have to stay are the reasons I want to leave.
I want to break out but I can't lose what I have. Can't venture to the unknown; I'm trapped inside my comfort zone.
I might get really scared. I might try to die. But what if I tried to live? What if I lived to try? Can't leave this place called home. Can't go off to the unknown. Tell me where my body stops and my soul begins.
I want to break out but I can't lose what I have. Can't venture to the unknown; I'm trapped inside my comfort zone.
