I have to count the cards
I have to count the cards and the AC is running
I have to count the cards, the AC is running, and the music is blaring
I have to count the cards, the AC is running, the music is blaring, and my roommate is talking
I have to count the cards, the AC is running, the music is blaring, my roommate is talking, and my stepmother's TV is blaring
I have to count the cards, the AC is running, the music is blaring, my roommate is talking, my stepmother's TV is blaring, and my ears are ringing so loud
I have to count the cards, the AC is running, the music is blaring, my roommate is talking, my stepmother's TV blaring, my ears are ringing so loud, and the fan in the bathroom is running
I have to count the cards, the AC is running, the music is blaring, my roommate is talking, my stepmother's TV blaring, my ears are ringing so loud, the fan in the bathroom is running, and the cards are sliding
I have to count the cards, the AC is running, the music is blaring, my roommate is talking, my stepmother's TV blaring, my ears are ringing so loud, the fan in the bathroom is running, the cards are sliding, and it all hurts
My mind is screaming, my senses are dialed up to 11, my roommate wants something
Right, we're playing slap jack
I miss another card, my roommate laughs loudly, I flinch
It's too loud, adding to the overwhelming symphony of noises filling my mind, cramming their way in with my thoughts
My roommate grows bored of waiting for me
She reaches out, she slaps me in the face
Hard
It hurts, and I'm crying, she laughs at me again
She leaves, turning her music up louder
My shirt is in my mouth and I'm chewing to keep calm
I put in earbuds and I play soft music
Jason Mraz, he calms me
Have it all, I want you to have it all
I hide under my blanket and I message Nem
Everything hurts so bad
I'm overwhelmed
