Devil In My Room

The devil's in my room and he's speaking to me I'm supposed to just swallow what he's feeding to me Let me tell you what he said I'll keep you company when you don't have the strength to leave bed I'll be the reason you can't drop to sleep when you lie down All those so called friends, where are they right now Quit being emotional, or I'll give you something to cry about You pushed everyone away, so it's just me You'll only hurt yourself if you try to push me I've been with you since you were 14 Alex, You should trust me You've been free from self-harm for too long, once again you need to become friends with the knife Who's going to care if you finish up ending your life? Go ahead, Just take one cut with the blade and you can mend tonight That's all it will take for you to stop losing sleep You may aswell, your poetry isn't as good as it used to be Every poem is the same "Blah Blah blah, I'm tired of depression abusing me" You should respect me instead of attacking me, it's always been you and me You mention my name on every page that you write When all your relationships went wrong, I was the one who stayed by your side I paid visits to you when you were in care,where was your mum at? Drinking with your dad, and he's dead now and can't come back But he didn't even want you when he was alive Yet you take it out on me, when I've always been by your side Bipolar is my brother, and you're upset I let him get to know you Then I introduced you to my sister anxiety This family was supposed to deal with everything privately You blame us, But it was you who exposed you The devil is depression and he's speaking to me Said anywhere I go, he'll be leaving with me
