Riley Duckworth - the place in my head Lyrics

I'm autistic, these are my life's struggles I can't see how people live their lives like normal
The wolf inside tells me to scream But I'm the only one in this world caught in between
I can't leave this place, my mind It's the only escape that one can find
The place in my head, it's my shield Where no one judges me, where the scars are healed
I'm in control, I am the one, the one and only
Cause in my own world, I can rise above But these days, the holes get too deep
And no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to sleep
I tell myself I'm okay, but the pain stays Burying my feelings, hiding away in a haze
My heart's breaking and it's harder to pretend I might lose myself again just to find the end
Voices rain down, echoes in my mind Telling me I'm loved, but it's so hard to find
Yeah, I know I'm different, but why is it so wrong
What if people treat me like I don't belong? If you don't like it, then just let me be
I'm amazing and smart, at least in my dreams In my world, I'm everything, but in yours, I'm lost
Trying to make it right, but what's the cost
The place in my head, it's my refuge, my shield Where no one judges me, where the scars are healed
I'm in control, I am the one, the one and only
Cause in my own world, I can rise above But these days, the holes get too deep
And no matter how hard I try, I can't find sleep
I'll keep fighting, even when it rains Searching for peace, breaking these chains
Maybe someday, I'll find my way To a world where I don't have to hide away
I'll keep fighting, even when it rains Searching for peace, breaking these chains
Maybe someday, I'll find my way To a world where I don't have to hide away
