Wake in a sweat again Another day's been laid to waste In my disgrace Stuck in my head again Feels like I'll never leave this place There's no escape I'm my own worst enemy I've given up I'm sick of feeling Is there nothing you can say Take this all away I'm suffocating Tell me what the f**k is wrong with me I don't know what to take Thought I was focused but I'm scared I'm not prepared I hyperventilate Looking for help somehow somewhere And no one cares I'm my own worst enemy I've given up I'm sick of feeling Is there nothing you can say Take this all away I'm suffocating Tell me what the f**k is wrong with me GOD Put me out of my misery Put me out of my misery Put me out of my Put me out of my f**king misery I've given up I'm sick of feeling Is there nothing you can say Take this all away I'm suffocating Tell me what the f**k is Wrong with me!
