You could say I don’t give a fuck
As if my trials and fears
Don’t have control over me
But you’re mistaken because I recidivate
And I know what you’re saying
But you’ve gotta believe
That the words I scream
Have deeper meanings
‘Cos I feel like I’m cornered
Like walls are closing in
Since I tend to always overthink everything
But I guess this is me
Stuck here being myself
Running blind trying to escape this hell
It’s the convulsion that comes
After affliction and
I’m trying to get better
But nothings working
I can’t seem to get out of my head
And if the drug doesn’t work
Am I better off this way?
Why would you want to sedate yourself?
I swear to God it’s a poison
To always feel this way
“Once you know sadness you’ll appreciate being happy”
But that’s a load of shit
Tell me, when have you thought?
“Oh my God, what a great day to be alive”
When every moment always tends to get worse
From loving cheaters that destroy my self worth
And I don’t know about you
But I could use a break
Maybe not permanent
But I’m down to try anything
It’s the convulsion the comes
After affliction and
I’m trying to get better
But nothings working
I can’t seem to get out of my head
And if the drug doesn’t work
Am I better off this way
Don’t lie and say that you care about me
You’ll say I’m losing my mind
Yeah and I’m still losing sleep
I think it’s clear I’m not the healthiest I could be
You’ll say I’m losing my mind
Yeah and I’m still losing sleep
I think it’s clear I’m not the healthiest I could be
It’s the convulsion that comes
After affliction and
I’m trying to get better
But nothings working
I can’t seem to get out of my head
And if the drug doesn’t work
Am I better off this way
The existential crisis is what makes me sick
Since I can’t seem to get a grip on reality
How do you cope and get through the day
Because the drug didn’t work
Was I meant to be this way?
I never said I was done with you yet
