Life on repeat like a broken CD
Life on repeat like a broken CD
Looking in the mirror but it's not me I see
Rinse and repeat that's my life
It's always just pain and strife
No sleep at night making things worse
Insomnia mania is a curse
No sleep is making the days longer
I just wish I could be a bit stronger
Other health issues taking control
But the mental health issues trump them all
Popping pills hoping things change
All its doing is making me feel strange
Every day bleeds into one
Rinse and repeat always on
What's happening is so cruel
The NHS holding me hostage for all to view
Is it sadness or is it madness?
Is it just a complete blackness?
How to move forward when every day is the same
I just know I didn't sign up for this game
Watching TV but don't understand a word
It's just pictures which feel obsured
Can't listen to music , no joy there
The voices come out and cause a scare
Sitting in silence is the only way
I can rest my mind, but not stop the replay
When everything feels so unnatural
My mind and body becomes detachable
I wish this would all now stop
I'm full of emotions I'm going to pop
When all is fixed and right again
Will the real me be let back in the pen?
Life on repeat like a broken CD
When I'm better ill sign a new treaty
One that can perserve inside the mind
One that proves this life is mine
Until that day we're just on repeat
Gotta try to sleep and eat
When the fight is always darkness or light
How do you know which side is right
The final stretch is this week
10 more days of feeling weak
Hopefully soon I will be saved
And that will be the end of this cruel game
Life on repeat like a broken CD
The only one to save me will be me
