Manic Mentality
Sitting motionless
I feel
like I'm
emotionless
Numb
in my body
From heartache
and mental stress
No longer
can this strain
In my brain
be compressed
Nor the cries
from the depths
Of my mind
be silenced
I'm tired of the pain
I'm looking for the cure
It's driving me insane
I can't take anymore
Memory sliced in half
From cuts so deep,
Peace on vacation
Voices still speak
My mind reveals secrets
That my heart can't keep
Emotion breaks down
My spirit just screams
I'm tired of the pain
I'm looking for the cure
It's driving me insane
I can't take anymore
Covered by the darkness
Comforted by the cold
Of course nobody cares
No helping hand to hold
Pain, my perverse pleasure
Hurt, my comfort zone
Living on an island
Always alone
I'm tired of the pain
I'm looking for the cure
It's driving me insane
I can't take anymore
Surrounded by fake family
No real place to call home
Bloodthirsty beasts
Heartless with no soul
Life is so dim
Lights so low
Optimistic thoughts
Of when the the curtains close
I'm tired of the pain
I'm looking for the cure
It's driving me insane
I can't take anymore
Nothing inside me
Nothing to lose
Whatever my next decision
Is all mine to choose
Adrenaline high
Common sense on snooze
Exhausted all my options
Not much left to do
I'm tired of the pain
I'm looking for the cure
It's driving me insane
I can't take anymore
