Weight On My Chest - Free Throw

Take off my clothes

Get into bed

I hit the pillow and persistent thoughts begin

I haven’t slept well in weeks

I don’t know how to fix this

Or if I’ll ever know true peace

I hope for the best

I need rest

I feel the weight press on my chest

Open my eyes

Take a breath

I know exactly what comes next

I can’t move my legs

Can’t move at all

Shadows creep along my wall

And I just want them gone

What did I do wrong

To deserve this?

Now I can’t refrain

From any attempt to scream cause every signal coming from my brain is in my vain

And it’s not fair

Every figure looming over me has locked me in its stare

Breathe

Calm down and give in

I hope that it’s all over soon

I hope you find the end

Relax

As the voices start to fade

The shadows float away

And you find your escape

Whoa sweet release

Rise to my feet

A couple tears roll down my cheek

I know that I am free

I am free

Even if it’s momentarily

Drop to my knees

I am free

I am free momentarily

I know that I am free

I am free

Even if it’s momentarily

I know that I am free

I am free…
