Ode To Dread

Oh, dread
Stuck inside my head
Enveloping my thoughts
I'm trapped inside this box
Oh, dread
Sometimes all I see is red
But you keep me grounded
Paralyzed, surrounded
It feels like everything's a distraction
Every thought and interaction
I just cannot keep my mind off of you
And you are stuck in my head
And you might follow till I'm dead
What I would not do to be rid of you
I want, to want, to live
But right now, I'd rather not exist
There's a dichotomy deep inside of me
That I just can't seem to flee

This is a cry for help
I just can't be alone
I'm walled in with my thoughts
And shut off from the world
And I am scared to wake
And I am scared to sleep
It hurts to be alive
You eat away at me

The first thing on my mind when I wake is you
And you're the last thing I think about before I sleep
I want to have more on my mind than just you and me
But I just can't be helped, will I ever break free?

I want away
I want apart
I need distance
But I don't have the heart
And so you're there
While I'm alone in my room
I'm overwhelmed with these thoughts
All I can think about is you
Oh, dread
