oh dear

Oh dear

Here it comes again

The fear

Ripping through my skin


Oh dear

Washing over me

The fear

Drowning in the deep


Oh dear, I'm falling again

I was good but now I'm caving in

Oh dear, look at me now

Covered in my own blood, oh how

Did I let this happen once more

Did I sneak into the bathroom and lock the door

I made a mistake, don't you think

Please, come save me from the brink

I'm falling off


Oh no

Stupid schizophrenic mind

Living in slow mo

I thought at least this time


Oh no

Depression, anger, self loathing

The flow

Of thoughts suddenly pushing


Oh no, I'm drowning again

I was good but now I'm caving in

Oh no, look at this mess

A sinking boy calling SOS

Why did I let this happen once more

Why did I go and lock the bathroom door

Troubled thoughts, this is what happens when I think

Please, if you hear me, save me from the brink

I'm falling off


But you're falling too

Maybe we can be broken with each other

What can we do

To finally heal one another


We're porcelain dolls

Don't drop us or we'll shatter

When we fall

Nothing else will really matter


So hold me tight 

And I'll hold you

If we squeeze with all our might

Maybe our glass won't undo


And let's cast our thoughts

Into the sea we're drowning in

And we'll finally start to float

When the war is ours to win


I'll save you from the brink

You're falling off

Come save me or I'll sink

Oh dear, what we've become
