I'm already sick of sweets,
With which I eat up my bitter life
I'm already sick of water, which I wash down with the desire to say some shit
I think I'm all right,
But I open Google Keep²
And it gives me the opposite

Walking down the steps to the shadows
No matter if it's an icon or a knife under my pillow
I want to exist only at night
Because I hide from the sun
Waiting for everything to calm down,
To not writing something depressing again
But I'm doing it now

Everything repeats over and over again,
I'm going back again
I got into another cycle
And I don't know how to get out

I'm suffocating, have an excess of cortisol
Let me drown in this poison,
Slowly killing me
Negative forces are overpowering me
And I'm dying

I wear a mask every day,
Сause it's better for you not to know the real me
I can't look at my face calmly
The blue veins on the wrists look so attractive
Who knows what will come to my mind at night
Why am I even thinking about it?
Wait...

I was trying to adjust my lifestyle
Wanna get enough sleep and eat right
But it seems the bruises under my eyes are already on the floor of the face
But it seems something is going wrong again
And I'm going back to where I came from

Everything repeats over and over again,
I'm going back again
I got into another cycle
And I don't know how to get out

I'm suffocating, have an excess of cortisol
Let me drown in this poison,
Slowly killing me
Negative forces are overpowering me
And I'm dying (I'm dying)
