Stuck Here In My Head

(Verse 1) I woke up in a cold sweat, my endless fight, My mind’s going miles, torn between wrong and right, Sand goes through the hourglass like money being tight, I’ve had enough of it so I’ll just say goodnight. Oh, my sweet-shadowed nightmare inside my head, We’re playing a game of Red Rover but he sends me on instead, The howling wolves, the demon dreams are getting to my bed, I’d hate to say it but I’d be better off dead. (PreChorus) And I know you cared once but you don’t care anymore, That my once sunny days are now a dreary downpour. (Chorus) I’m stuck here in my head, I’ve got demons after me, Trotting along an Ice Nine song while he kills me slowly, In my bed, Die instead, ‘Cause I am stuck here in my head. (Verse 2) Can’t get comfortable tonight, my room’s faded to black, The tar keeps oozing on through and rushes straight to my back, The hungry ones they make up for everything I lack, Inside my dark mind, they’re just fluid-filled sacs. And they had called me down for dinner, I’m the sinner, Who betrayed my own faults, I am stuck inside their vault. And I can’t concentrate anymore, Shut the closed door, They’re here for me again, I never seem to really win. And I am here until my death day, I stand right in plain sight and say, Hey, I am here now come and play. I stand right in the four corners, Wait until the coroner, Takes my place, And they reverse my saddened face. (PreChorus) And I know you cared once but you don’t care anymore, That my once sunny days are now a dreary downpour. (Chorus) I’m stuck here in my head, I’ve got demons after me, Trotting along an Ice Nine song while he kills me slowly, In my bed, Die instead, ‘Cause I am stuck here in my head. (Bridge) And maybe my dark days will be brighter, Maybe I’m doomed for dear life, But maybe this girl is a fighter, Who has stowed away the knife. Enough said, Shouldn’t wed, ‘Cause I am stuck here in my head. And I tell my friends I am fine but thats furthest from the truth, My schizophrenia has really stolen my youth, It’s a thief of time, But it’s mine, Hey, back again in my head. Now, my voices have controlled me, For the last time, I’m hoping, Someday I’ll, Have a new claim to file. Maybe my lawyer, Will destroy her, The delusion that soiled, My beguile, It’s gone on for awhile. My demise in Heaven never to be, In Hell, I’ll sit here sad and gloomy, Burn, You’ll have to wait your turn. And the girl who sat in best friends’ bathrooms, Air Duster, Comet, Pain Pills happened, To cope, I nearly sliced my throat. Days have gone by fast with no reflector on, Instead I’m looking at myself through a game of ping pong, Tossing me back and forth, XXXXXX XXXX XXXX XX XXXX XXX X XX XXXXX XXXXXX XXX XX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXX XXX XXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XX XXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX XXXX XX XXXX XX XXXXXX XX XXX XX XXXXXXX XXX XX XXXXX X XX XXXXXXX XXXXX XX XXXXX XX XXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXX XX XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXX XXXXX XX X XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XX XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXX XX XX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXX XX XX XXXXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXXX XXXXX XXX XXXXXXXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX XXXX XXXXX XX XXXXX XX XXXXXXX XX XX XXXX XXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX X XX XXXXX XXXX XX XX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXXX XXX XX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXX XXX XX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXX X XX X XXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX XXXX XX XXXXX XXX XXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX XX XXXX XX XXXXXX XXX XXXX XXX XXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXX XX X XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXX XX XXXX XXX XXXXXX XXX XXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX X XXXX XX XX XXXXX XXXXX X XXXXXXX XXXX XXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX XX X XXXX XXXX XX XXXX XXX XXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XX XX XXXXX XXX XXX XXXX X XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX XX XX XXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX X XX XXXXX X XX XXXXX X XX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX XX XXXXX X XX XXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXX X XX XXXXXX XX XX XXXXX

A song for all the dented cans out there; you are beautiful, you don’t need a man to prove to yourself that you are worthy.

Wake

A depressing song about self-harm and an eating disorder. Talking about being used and how people mistreat you. But you’re dead inside, so you’re welcoming people to your wake.

Summer Dream

By Isaac Wragg


This is a stab at the a classic summer song with an interpretive twist. I ignored the usual feel good and relational themes for one that hopefully leaves the listener guessing. What it meant to me while writing it will likely be completely different from what it means to you. However, the lyrics are simultaneously not super complex and allow for a celebratory, triumphant feeling to also shine through. Additionally, the rhyme scheme is intentionally a little odd to give the song a more memorable and unique sound.
