Weight of the Storm

There's a storm behind my eyes it won't let go Like a weight pressing down heavy and slow I've tried every remedy every cure every pill But the silence I need is so far uphill Each second drags like an endless fight Caught in the shadow of a sleepless night I scream into the quiet but no one hears This ache in my mind feeds all my fears I'm a prisoner inside my own head Every step feels like a thread to be shed No relief no escape just a pounding refrain Like thunder that echoes through veins of pain Can't think can't breathe I'm fading away This headache is stealing another day Pressure rising like a tide in my skull Words I try to speak are meaningless and dull I've forgotten what peace ever felt like The world's a blur; my strength's on strike Time moves forward but I'm standing still Climbing a mountain against my will The sound of my heartbeat is deafening loud Drowning the whispers of any hope allowed I'm a prisoner inside my own head Every step feels like a thread to be shed No relief no escape just a pounding refrain Like thunder that echoes through veins of pain Can't think can't breathe I'm fading away This headache is stealing another day I close my eyes but the darkness won't hide This relentless storm that's alive inside If I could lift the weight if I could just let it go Maybe I'd find the part of me I used to know I'm a prisoner inside my own head Every step feels like a thread to be shed No relief no escape just a pounding refrain Like thunder that echoes through veins of pain Can't think can't breathe I'm fading away This headache is stealing another day But I'll hold on though the fight feels unfair Even in silence I'll prove I'm still there
