Cure me
It’s a warzone out there
And your mind is a minefield without the warning signs
Breathe;
it's only ash clouds out there
The sun's burning my eyes, yet everything but you is blurry by design
There’s a chemical imbalance,
Whatever
It’s sort of my most motivationally scarring talent
To be off kilter for as long as I can remember
I am the destroyer of your worlds without connection
Codependent, but the only sidekick to the truth
Behind your eyes, I am your ill-fated point of view
And if I’m sick, you’re dying
It’s very clear to me now
That you can’t be my therapy
But can you be my chemo?
Show me how much you love me in the form of synthetic sacrifices
I know you wouldn't take a life for me
But would you keep me alive with anything under the sun?
Take a pin and draw your own flesh and blood?
You make me wanna tell you anything and everything under the sun
But oversharing will inevitably be the death of me
There's so much I'll never end up saying anyways
And you still leave me hanging every chance you get
I know you’re typing but do you forget to hit send?
Is torture ever worth it?
Versatile are these landmines with incredibly high success rates
Was there any sea that Moses wouldn't have parted?
I wouldn't wanna climb this mountain just to be sent back to where I started
Not now, not a thousand years B.C
I’m the boy who cried for heroes,
Non-parasocially
But I’m weeping again for real this time
I need you more than ever!
Sin quieter this time and show me some spine!
Forget quick and painless, I’d much rather you kill me slow
If i’m sick, than you’re decaying
But like a corrupt lawyer, I pretend that I don’t know
And I do tend to defend you
But can you be my chemo?
Is that the best way to get to know you?
Make up your mind before I lose mine
You are my chemical revival with a 100% success rate
My withered future is just a light tax to pay
for this disease that’s all the rage!
