i can't focus on anything anymore
the world is just so loud in its silence
i can't focus on studying or schoolwork
my mind is always elsewhere
(usually on you)
i can't focus when i drive
i get lost in the dark corners of my mind
and then i'm d r i f t i n g
honk
and i swerve to safety
but a part of me will always wish
that i didn't swerve to safety
i can't eat, i can't sleep
my own head keeps me awake
"you need to take this, we'll start you on that"
that's what they tell me
but they're monsters, slimy demons
they're trying to poison me!
i don't know why
i don't know i don't know i don't know
(pleasehelp)
i can't focus on anything anymore
i don't know what to do
i think my head must be stopped
before i lose my mind
(oh wait,
it's already gone)
