Sensory Overload

They say it’s the little things
That matter in life
And the noise from the wind chimes
Will be the reason I commit suicide
They’re why I fantasize
Hanging myself every night

They’re always too loud
I’m headed for a breakdown
Haunted by the sound

I need an escape
Before I suffocate
I want to run away
Any place is fine
Just get me out of this pointless life
That I’m trapped inside
I’ll do whatever it takes
To feel alive

It’s never quiet
Even when I sleep
My ears are starting to bleed
From all the screaming
I want to forget how to breathe
So I stop hearing my heartbeat

It’s always too loud  
And never slows down  
I’ll die haunted by the sound

I need an escape
Before I suffocate
I want to run away
Any place is fine
Just get me out of this pointless life
That I’m trapped inside
I’ll do whatever it takes
To feel alive

I never win the fights
I have in my mind
I get more scars
And say I’m fine
I need to find silence
Before I die
