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...
