i feel so cold,
but my skin is clammy.

my muscles are jerking
and my eyes won't stay closed
and noises claw their way up my throat.

i daydream of razors and knives,
safety pins and lighters.

i am a tempest.

i am going insane.
i am going insane.

this is just a documentary.

eventually, this story will come to an end.

why do i try?
why do i do anything?

i like it when i don't do anything.
i like it when i stay inside.
i like it when i drive myself insane.

mommy, am i special?
daddy, do you care about me?

i am a tempest.

does anybody really care about me?
or do they just care about my company?
or do they just care about what i can give them?

does anybody care?

do i care?

usually i only feel this way at night
usually the mania and voices and shadows only show up when the sun sets
but the sun is shining so bright
and the demons are still out to get me.

but i'm just a dumb baby wearing an adult's skin.

but i am just a tempest.
a sad excuse for one.
