I don't know

It's been a couple years since it started to happen
And my life still feels like it's crashing.
Can anyone tell me how to handle a life that's smashing
I just need some advice, like a rookie playing madden

It feels like I'm trapped in a cage
My only release, laying all this on the page
Everyday the cage closes in
What the hell do I have to do to be myself again

I keep all this bottled up inside
My smiles slowly fading on the outside
Already dead inside, my soul leaving me piece by piece
All I need is some ease, Just a little bit of peace.

These days everyone "understands" what you're going through
Yet everyday they ask what happened to the old you
I'm a disappointment, a failure, just another slob without a job
I lost it all, and I can't seem to break my fall.
