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!
