Wake up, fake smile on my face
Calm and complacent, or they'll label you a basket case
Inside, it gets the best of me
A prisoner held on the edge of insanity

I can't take it, I can't take it
This self-destruction, it just makes me sick
I can't fake it, I can't fake it
Will I lose this war within my mind?
I'm feeling dead inside

I feel, like there's a heart beneath the floor
I can hear it beating, it goes on and on forevermore
Within, my thoughts remain unclear
Filled with doubt, I just want out
Constantly full of fear

I can't take it, I can't take it
This self-destruction, it just makes me sick
I can't fake it, I can't fake it
Will I lose this war within my mind?
I'm feeling dead inside

I can hear it calling
But it's whispers mean nothing
If I hear it deep within, the doubts will slowly come again
My worst enemy, is the one that I cannot see
Won't let the darkness win, or the voice inside will be my end

I can't take it, I can't take it
But this self-destruction it just makes me sick
I can't fake it, I can't fake it

I can't take it, I can't take it
This self-destruction, it just makes me sick
I can't fake it, I can't fake it
Will I lose this war within my mind?
I'm feeling dead inside
