I'm tired

Can't feel happiness

Even sadness

Leaves me in constant loneliness

There's no light

To end this endless darkness

I must survive

My own mind

I must survive inside my own mind

Let me go blind

So I don't see how hard I've tried

Let me go deaf

So I don't hear my lies

Let me go mute

So I don't scream another truth

I'm lost inside

A life I can't recognize

Every breath I take

Feels like another mistake

I'm reaching for silence

In a world that won't let me rest

Trying to bury the pain

That keeps living inside my chest

There's no one to hear me

No one to understand

I'm drowning in the emptiness

With nothing left in my hands

Let me go blind

So I don't see how hard I've tried

Let me go deaf

So I don't hear my lies

Let me go mute

So I don't scream another truth

    The chorus is the part I keep going back to, asking to go blind and deaf and mute so you don't have to see how hard you've tried. That line, how hard I've tried, is the one I copied into my notebook. It reads like something meant to be sung out loud, with that chorus coming round twice. Do you have a tune for it, or is it words only for now? Thank you for putting it up.

    The refrain coming back word for word makes this read like a song. I can hear where the drums would drop out.

    Blind, then deaf, then mute, each ask giving up a little more. By the last one it's asking not to tell the truth anymore, and that's the line I keep going back to.
