Perplexed To the Max
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed and —
Angry because I gave in to temptation
Crying because I can’t stand my frustration
Happy because I shattered the habit of shame
Unhappy because I’m still the one to blame
Tattered and torn by you while my fretful flame
Remains untame, so don’t play me like a game
I’m dealing with horrid anxiety on a high level
I’m dealing with the many thoughts of the devil
I’m revealing my happiness instead
Of this guiltiness and utter dread
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
I want to try to relax, for I’m extremely uncomfortable
I have to face reality and its facts
I want to try to relax, for I’m extremely unstable
I have to stop negativity in its tracks
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
I’m insecure and bewildered as well as lost From deep within
Put me at ease please, for I can’t afford the cost
Of my countless sins
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
So perplexed and —
Angry because I gave in to indignation’s hold, attempting to overcome it profoundly
Crying because I can’t stop my evil desires from unfolding; growing numb eternally
Happy because I made it out alive once more
Unhappy because I’m tortured to the core
Tattered and torn all the more...
Darling, you are the one I adore...
I’m dealing with horrid anxiety on a high level
I’m dealing with the many thoughts of the devil
I’m revealing my happiness instead
Of this guiltiness and utter dread
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
I want to try to relax, for I’m extremely uncomfortable
I have to face reality and its facts
I want to try to relax, for I’m extremely unstable
I have to stop negativity in its tracks
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
I’m insecure and bewildered as well as lost From deep within
Put me at ease please, for I can’t afford the cost
Of my countless sins
Perplexed to the max
Perplexed to the max
So fatigued and fearful and —
Perplexed, no doubt, to the max
Stressed out and can’t relax
Abused and attacked by grief on every single side
Bemused and yearning for relief from broken pride
Perplexed to the max
Fixated on my dire downfalls
Stop negativity in its tracks
Release your eyes’ waterfalls
Sift out the lies
Don’t wave goodbyes
Seek out the truth behind the eyes
Dealing with triggers and its cries
But not anymore...
Listening to happiness
Glistening in hopefulness
No longer hopeless
No longer in distress
To the core...
