around the edges

Alone again
And all the thoughts I've laid to rest
Come creeping back again
I've come to terms so many times
And still the darkness ever circles in
A fog around the edges
Barely hiding all the messes in its wake
I am learning to control it
But I don't know how much more I can take
Tell me there is something more
At the end of this road
I've been needing something more
I'm at the end of my rope
I've been hanging here for way too long
Trying to act like
I don't have the same sad thoughts
The mask is heavy
But I just can't seem to take it off
I can't take it off, no
Put on a face like it's all okay
Try to cover up that I feel insane
No, not today
You are not going to see that I'm going crazy
I'm going crazy
It's like, three steps forward
And two steps back
Try to clear my head
Get back on track
Then it's one step forward
And two steps back
And I'm right back
Where I started at
It's like, three steps forward
And two steps back
Try to clear my head
Get back on track
Then it's one step forward
And two steps back
And I'm right back
Where I started at
Tell me there is something more
At the end of this road
I've been needing something more to go on
'Cause I'm at the end of my rope
