Fight Your Demons

Inverse Universe

During the day
I smile and say
Today is good
And things are as they should be

I join my friends
And wait for the new message as it sends
I laugh and smile
It's been such a long while
They make life taste
And I don't have any haste
Just to be me
And things are as they should be

There is music in my ears
Two plugs to drown my fears
Hurrah for Spotify
Without it I couldn't get by
The clock finally ticks three
And things are they should be

I leave and watch the road scream under the wheels
I wait for the sight of home and the beauty of my door that seals
The clock ticks six
And life starts turning my stomach sick
Today wasn't all that it was made to be
And I'm glad no one can see
How inverse a universe I live in
And things are as they should be

Eight
Alone and feeling not so great
Fatigue sets in and I sit
Spotify can't help me through my shit
Who was I to say it could?
I really hoped it would
But it can't stop this pit inside from growing
Now it's the showing
Deeper inside I dig, watching myself break
I've done this so many times I do not shake
A sick sense of pride comes when I see those sanguine beads
Run down and suit my needs
This is all I can't be and how it's all so ugly
And things seem to be...

Be so rightfully wrong
Get up to change the song
Sit down and start again
There comes the part in this when
I wonder why I do this
And everything I won't miss
If I stopped this cycle
Stopped it all right now

But I can't. Because I start to see the unvoiced beauty
And things are as they should be
