This is the first time I've uploaded my own track, so please give me feedback in ways to help me improve :)

[Intro:]
I grew up, thinking life, was just a mere whisper, that echoed, throughout time. But time is an illusion, that constantly catches up to me. Constantly telling me things, I don’t want to talk or think of. But once reality sets in, you realise things you wished for weren’t real, because when you become so consumed by the fantasy that runs through your mind, it’s hard to believe what’s really lying in front of your face.
[Verse:]
I have a million thoughts in the midst of my mind. As a trillion trains travel through losing track of time. Nagging voices plead for me to figure my life out. As I blast the music up, up against my eardrums. How do you vent to someone who doesn’t understand? Why can’t you understand it’s my life, my hands? I want to use my voice to scream out. Stand up on that stage, and find a way to runaway to the gates that border me from going insane. There’s a world in my mind that keeps collapsing. Trying to figure out the pieces I should keep. As I stay up late digging into the deep, every thought is a drink consumed with toxic, losing myself… sinking in the deep end drinking it all while I’m trying to scream…
[Hook:]
There were a million things I wanted to say but all of the things I wanted to say burst out in cries…
[Chorus:]
And now I’m up late overthinking about everything. Cause the track of time, that’s living in my mind, it all ticks and tocks, always moving spots. As I sink into an overdose, with the ice up in my thoughts. Where the track of time, that’s living in my mind, it all ticks and tocks, always moving spots. But now I can’t breathe, when it’s 5 o clock in the morning and I still can’t sleep… 
[Verse:]
I knew I wanted to be true to myself, cause I owed it to myself to find the pieces that belonged to me. When the world spun and spun, I thought I was done, but I was just, poisoned by the realities of the words spreading through the world. And I just felt done, when the world shifted in slow motion, I got stripped of my clothes and became so fucking lost. Cause when you on your own for the first time, you learn to speak the voice inside your mind cause all you’re really losing is time. So I stopped wasting dimes on those fountains, and climbed the fucking mountains. Right in front of your face, that’s where you can see the space, in between then and now, but you gotta look at, what’s now and next…
[Hookx1]
[Chorusx1]
[Verse:]
The screams and cries drowned out the lies, if you look into my eyes, there’s a little girl trying to break out of the looking glass she’s been locked in. Fighting all the sins swept up in her conscience, every part of it is nonsense, pushing pulling through all the hard knocking. The breeze blows, and it’s like the world knows, I got burned lifting my left hand, and the words are cursed. So, my right hand writes it all up in a verse. Time’s been ticking in a twenty-four hour circle, circulating the blood in my veins is a miracle. I’m fucking waiting for my mind to rest, but damn I’d like to know what goes on in my chest. Lost in a mist, and there’s a world out there I can’t see because my sight has been blurred by the bullshit I’ve heard. Is it okay to scream now? 
[Hookx1]
[Chorusx1]
[Outro:]
I come from a world where writing it out speaks louder than screaming it out, where the pieces of me can be found in a million notebooks. There’s nobody else for me to lean onto, to talk to, because so many people come and go, and there’s a hard knock flow in my heart that I had to expose.
