The '86 - Breaking Lyrics

I'm bending over backwards
But you're not getting it
I'm tired and sore from the pain and the hurt
That's been eating me within

The ghosts are closing in
They're whispering my name
They're the ones that were lost to a life that has cost
And I'm waiting to cave in

There's no
Escape
Inside
The walls
Of my mind
The rain
The dark
The water rushing in
Nothing's clear
Nothing's right
Nothing's right

You want it I'm bleeding
You want to shut me down
My mind is a prison
To lock away the pain
I can't get control of
The rage that eats away
My time is counting down

Too many time I've felt this
This crushing sinking weight
All stems from the from the way
That I've watched my decay from this haunted prison cell
The walls are closing in
I've gotta find my control
No more wasted days no more empty space
Time to crawl out of this hole

Blasting back
The noise
That keeps me tied to the ground
All my anger
My rage
All the impulses that bind
Clearing haze
Seeking light
Make things right

You want it I'm bleeding
You want to shut me down
My mind is a prison
To lock away the pain
I can't get control of
The rage that eats away
My time is counting down

I push on this wall
And it comes crashing down
But all I see
Is a blackened sky

There's got to be something out there
Something I can reach
Something I can feel
Where is it?

I don't ever want to break down
What choice do I have
Show me how to fight for this life
Breaking I'm
Breaking I'm
