Bipolar
Minds racing
Always pacing
In a panic
Going manic
Looking to fight
I’m in your sight
Impulse buying
Aggressive driving
Can’t sit still
Making me ill
Up and down, round and round
On this perpetual carnival ride
Up and down, high and low
Just like the ocean tide
Sleeping the day away
Doing nothing for yourself
complaining and belly-aching
Just wishing you could melt
Crying at about everything
You can’t even get out of bed
With all those hurtful thoughts
Swimming in your head
Up and down, round and round
On this perpetual carnival ride
Up and down, high and low
Just like the ocean tide
Mind breaking
Risk taking
Hair tearing
Not caring
Driving fast
Can’t be last
Out on the town
Can’t slow down
No sleeping
Soon weeping
Up and down, round and round
On this perpetual carnival ride
Up and down, high and low
Just like the ocean tide
