What am I supposed to do now
Surrendering to darkness
I try to tie up all the loose ends
Left hanging in my dreams
Hope is my only friend now
I hold onto it like a blanket
No one beside me, feels a little frightening
Now hope has left me too
I'm scared because I might just stay awake at night
Who's gonna catch me when I fall
A stranger trapped me in a room I can't escape and now I'm
Trapped within these walls
Trapped within these walls
Trapped within these walls
Trapped within these walls
You can hear me screaming at the top of my lungs
Praying for the night to end
I pound my fist against the ceiling
Cause I like when it bleeds
But how am I supposed to sleep now
Slowly drifting into madness
Everything's great, it's just a phase I'm in
I whisper but I can't even convince myself
And dying in my dreams is a recurring theme
It doesn't scare me anymore
I would unlock this door if I just found the key but I'm still
Trapped within these walls
Trapped within these walls
Trapped within these walls
Trapped within these walls
I refuse to switch the light on
Cause I'm afraid of all the shadows
I try to tie up all the loose ends
Left hanging in my dreams
Don't wanna put myself up on the highest shelf
No one will catch me when I fall
It's not like I expected to be rescued by another
Prisoner of circumstances staring at these walls
Too scared to even try knowing the reason why
Life is blocking all my calls
A stranger trapped me in a room I can't escape and now I'm
Trapped within these walls
Trapped within these walls
Trapped within these walls
I'm trapped within these walls
