I'm sitting in the corner, counting cracks inside the floor
I swear I locked it, but I see a handle turning on the door
The medicine is sitting on the counter by the sink
But if I take it, I'm afraid the universe will blink
The shadows have faces, they look just like my friends
But their smiles are too wide, and their body never ends.
Am I sick? Am I broken? Or just waking up?
Pouring ocean water into a paper cup
I push you away so you don't see the mess
Put my hands around your neck while I'm asking for a bless
I hate you, I love you, don't look at the scars
I'm trapped in a galaxy, but I don't see the stars.
Hold me down, before I float away
The voices in the ceiling beg for me to play.
I'm terrified of silence, 'cause that's when they speak!
My knees are getting heavy and my spirit is weak!
Don't leave me alone, I'll burn apart the seams
Living in a nightmare disguised as a dream.
Look, panic is a trigger and the safety is off
I'm drowning in the pillow, suffocating in the cloth
Check the phone, no texts, abandon ship
Biting on my lip 'til the blood starts to drip.
Is it real? Is it fake? Is it trauma in the wake?
How much pressure can a single person take?
I'm disassociating, floating up above the bed
Watching myself cry, wishing I was dead.
Identity is fluid, I don't know who I am
A lamb walking willingly into the slaughter of the ram.
Please don't go, please stay, I promise I'll be good
I'm just a little damaged, misunderstood.
Where did I go?
The walls are breathing.
Where did I go?
They know what you did.
Please...
They are never going to forgive you.
Hold me down, before I float away
The voices in the ceiling beg for me to play.
I'm terrified of silence, 'cause that's when they speak!
My knees are getting heavy and my spirit is weak!
Don't leave me alone, I'll burn apart the seams
Living in a nightmare disguised as a dream.
I think they found me.
