exhausted
numbers, math, counting, checking
tiring
thoughts, feelings, actions, habits
stop

the process
the loss
the isolation
the pain

im tired
overworking overdosing
im exhausted
overthinking overdoing

my chest
my hips
my legs
my face

changes, change, changed
not fast enough
not healthy enough
never enough

who's it for
it's me
it's you
it's him

he broke it
you showed me
I wanted this
she was pure

she never harmed
she never hurt
except inside
except for you

isolation, isolate, isolated
falling away
becoming further
locking away

locked down
chained to myself
encased by bedding
fake piled on faith

closed captions on open minds
closed minds in power
I'm tired
I'm sorry

can't hold on
can't make it
can't wait
can't see clear

minds a mess
brains homicidal
thoughts are pests
disorders run amok

I'm still healing
but did i ever start
I'm still trying
but did i ever want to

small hopes
i know are wrong
big wishes
never to come true

I'm stuck
I'm trying
i can move
do i want to? am i going to?

i can't move
I'm not stuck
where am i
am i lying

to myself
to you
to my friend
to myself
