Inside My Mind
Navigating Shadows: Paige Keiner's Journey Inside My Mind
Lyrics
I’m careful
I prioritize caution and mindfulness
Try to change my ways
Attempting to change my habits
But take the same steps every day
Despite efforts, following the same routine daily
The same old dark destination
Heading towards a familiar, dark place
A place of my own creation
A self-created place of negativity
I built a city in my head full of shadows
Mentally constructed a city with shadows
Can’t turn around and escape it
Unable to escape the mental construct
I’m lost the minute I walk in
Feeling lost upon entering this mental space
Street signs that lead me to nowhere keep me frozen
Directionless, frozen by misleading signs
Good days
Experiencing positive moments
Rough nights
Difficult nights
Stare into the darkness through my closed eyes
Gazing into darkness with closed eyes
I have good days
Occasionally having good days
Sometimes
Intermittent positive experiences
Til I lose my way inside my own mind
Losing myself within my own thoughts
Inside my mind
Experiencing inner turmoil
Inside my mind
Continuing the struggle within
I’m restless
Restless and uneasy
Talking in my sleep
Talking during sleep, seeking connection
But no one answers me
No response to my nocturnal communication
I’m running scared of my shadow
Fearful, haunted by my own shadow
And all I hear is the echo
Hearing only echoes of my own voice
Of my own voice as I try to fill the silence
Attempting to fill the silence with words
Each room I enter is empty
Entering empty spaces, anticipating solitude
Of course I knew that they would be
Anticipating emptiness and aloneness
I hope the next door I open leads me back to
Hoping the next experience brings positivity
Good days
Anticipating better days
Rough nights
Difficult nights persist
Stare into the darkness through my closed eyes
Gazing into darkness with closed eyes
I have good days
Experiencing occasional good days
Sometimes
Intermittent positive moments
Til I lose my way inside my own mind
Getting lost in my own thoughts
Inside my mind
Continued inner turmoil
Inside my mind
Persistent struggle within
Good days
Hoping for the return of positive experiences
Are they ever coming back
Questioning if better days will return
Am I ever going back to
Uncertain about returning to a positive state
Good days
Doubting the return of better days
Are they ever coming back
Uncertain about a positive future
Am I ever going back
Doubting the possibility of improvement
Good days
Yearning for positive experiences
Rough nights
Difficult nights persist
Stare into the darkness through my closed eyes
Gazing into darkness with closed eyes
I have good days
Experiencing occasional good days
Sometimes
Intermittent positive moments
Til I lose my way inside my own mind
Getting lost in my own thoughts
Inside my mind
Continued inner turmoil
Inside my mind
Persistent struggle within
