Relapse

They say you can change Overnight With a snap of your fingers I’d be lying if I said I believed that They said your emotions Can rise and fall like you’re in a non-stop Roller coaster The doctors tell some of us to take pills to feel human Yet I’d relapse faster than Feel any change at all There’s a constant war and struggle In my head and mind Trying to forget my past And focus on the future But I happen to zone out Every time Am I Prometheus Chained to all the burdens in life Unable to unwind and look To the bright side Even if there isn’t one Will I be Icarus Falling to my death With only a few who’d care about me While the rest have turned their Backs on me Wouldn’t it be better To be able to hibernate like a bear Going unwatched, unnoticed As life slowly drifts on Haven’t you ever been asked Who are you And you just don’t know What to reply Because You haven’t found your purpose In life Like I haven’t found mine Either Maybe I ought to take those pills And see if I stopped fighting See if I could relapse And be where I wanna be
