How nice
How many times can I rinse and repeat?
Third time
My friends are gone
And my alter's went silent
Blind eye
Can't see or hear from my mind when I shut my eyes
Am I
Wrong or is that the way everyone else is?
1, 2, 3, 4
Why're my eyes sore?
Turn the lights off
I'm getting dizzy
5, 6, 7 8
I'm gonna be late
Hours pass by and
Things are getting tricky
9, 10, 11, 12
My plans are getting shelved
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 3, 2, 3
God it's so hard
To keep thinking
Endless fog and
Never dreaming
Those eyes
I think I've seen them once before, oh
Am I
Going insane or is that the way my mind is?
Too shy
To enter into the room flooding with ghost boys
Reflect
Victorian mirror, everything is lifelike
Stop counting
Time's not stopping
So many times
I'd just jump over
But something's off
About this fence
There's clumps of sheep wool
Stuck to splinters
How many
Hours of sleep
Do I lose
Counting sheep?
It just doesn't
Work at all
There has to
Be another way
I'm sick and
Tired of this
Endless wolf
Chase, why do
I have to
Be in any
Of these bodies
When none of them fit me?
Soulless eyes
They won't stop following
My every movement
Who has died?
In the empty void
Underneath my headspace
Endless halls
Ceiling tiles fall and dust flies outward
Recall
Every last moment
(Watching from the loveseat)
White noise
In my head
Can't stop running from
Monsters self-fabricated
(Mental stasis!)
Reach for all last hope
Punch through the drywall
Ornate wallpaper
Its patterns seep into my nightma-a-a-ares
Wooden railings
Collapse under
All the weight
The doctor's waiting
Furniture's breathing
Everything's sinking
Run to the wardrobe
It's our safety
Leaf designs and curvy lines
Etched into the legs of
The bed I sleep in
How comforting
Why's it haunting?
Looks so daunting
Everything's so out of place
But it calls me
In my wardrobe
Everything's pitch black
Big eyes turn
To look straight at me
I flinch and keep
My eyes shut tight
It's all in my mind
It's alright
As my mental
Issues fade, some
Will persist and
That's how it goes
Just remember
You're yourself and
Your hard past is
In the past, it's over now
