Leave a message because I don't have the energy today
I need to clear my head and try to keep some memories away
I'm feeling low today because of my bipolar moods
Leave a message and I'll get back to you
I need some time alone to get my mind right
Call me selfish now, But maybe you'll understand in Hindsight
My anger makes me want to throw the clock off the wall because time flies
I put my truth to the front while the rest of you hide behind lies
If you listen carefully there's some logic you can hear in my madness
I don't take medication for my mental health because I fear being an addict
Doctors just give you a prescription and allow you to get addicted
My bipolar leaves for a while, but I'm always waiting for it's next visit
Depression is around more often he's basically a roommates
Anxiety and bipolar are there too, so I don't have much room space
Demons whispering, telling me I'm useless
I'm 5 years free from self-harm, but anytime I see a blade, Depression tells me to use it
I've got all of this to deal with, so I don't want to go out much
People judge mental illness and don't really care about us
So call me weak, Selfish, or whatever because I'll fight till the end
When I spend time alone, it means I'm trying my best to cope and mend
You won't get through to me today as my phone will be turned off
Weight of the world on my shoulders that I need to burn off
Hoping to exercise my demons and wear them out
I can't deal with people today, as my own peace of mind is what I care about
Leave a message because I don't have the energy today
I need to clear my head and try to keep some memories away
I'm feeling low today because of my bipolar moods
Leave a message and I'll get back to you
