I'll Sleep When I'm Dead

Chapter 5

Normal POV

Kirsten eventually left Stephanie's house. She couldn't shake the fact that she's changing. She constantly was thinking about how different Abby, Tessa, and her have gotten from a few years ago till now.

'Do I not like Abby? That's not possible, of course I like Abbs. She's one of my closest friends. But why didn't I stand up for her when I should have? Weird, usually when someone insults her, I am the first one to say something. Now I didn't have enough courage to say one word.' Kirsten thinks as she drives home.

~~~Back to Abby and Tessa~~~

"I want to help you." Tessa says firmly.

"You can't, there's nothing you can do. This is my body, and my problem." Abby replies sternly and looks away.

"Yes I can. There is always something someone can do."

"Well, I don't think there is. I'm the one who has the illness, I'm the one who can't sleep. This is my problem, I need to deal with it."

"Ok, but I don't think you're going to last without someone there."

I can't quite contain or explain my evil ways

Or explain why I'm not sane

All I can say is this is your warning

I can't quite contain or explain my evil ways

Or explain why I'm not sane

All I can say is this is your warning, duality

I have a confession that you will not believe

That you could not perceive this freak, gonna set it off

I have a confession, of a side that I hide

It's a cloak or disguise unleashed, gonna get it off

No, I'll never get away

Cause if I try to stray

It only holds me closer

No, I'll never get away

I love it anyway

I'll never stop

I can't quite contain or explain my evil ways

Or explain why I'm not sane

All I can say is this is your warning

I can't quite contain or explain my evil ways

Or explain why I'm not sane

All I can say is this is your warning, duality

I have an impression, in the back of my mind

For the black in my tie contains our dirty thoughts

Make me an obsession, when you lock me inside

For the ride of your life unleashed, gonna get it off

No, can't count the list of things

I know are wrong with me

No need to justify them

No, I'll never take the blame

So I'll just stay the same

I'll never stop
