It's Only Me

Do you cry yourself to sleep?
Do you slit throats in your dreams?
Because when I fall to my knees
Bright blue blood puddles around me.

Do you look in the mirror at 3 in the morning and see a demon staring back at you?
Do you whisper wishes to another world?
Because I talk to the people living in my head
Even when they don't always answer.

Do people walk through you?
Do your thoughts choke you?
Because I have to slice them all away with a dagger.

Do you want to disappear just for a day?
Do you want to slide into the ether?
Do you want to explore the void?
Because my molecules evaporate; they twist and change
And I don't stay.

Do you? Or is it only me?

It's only me, it's only me.
Always only me.
