Mood up and down like a roller coaster
I seem to feel suicidal
Maybe it's a game of denial
'Cause I bottle it when death gets closer
Abandonment, loneliness and impulsivity
I wish these things were foreign to me
Back and forth like a game of snakes and ladders
My limbic systems taken over by a poisonous adder
Leave me alone but keep me near
Afraid of loneliness but sick of having you here
This is a battle between me, myself and I
Trying to find out who I am but every time it's a lie
A mixture of personalities wrapped into one
Sometimes it's exhausting and sometimes it's fun
Emotional valley is where I reside
Sucker for numbness when things aren't right
I know this is confusing for those that don't understand
so listen up and offer troubled friends a hand
It's a lot of back and forth for a normal brain
But those that don't understand it feels like being insane
A exhausting battle that can ever be won
A long haul and a tiresome run.
