music bleeds out of the speakers
but the battery is low
the silence is so loud
i can't listen to it for long
all my time is slipping away
but it's just too much effort to grab it back
i hate the constant questioning
"are you upset?"
i'm just so drained
my medicine helps me sleep
(with the price of being exhausted in the morning)
i should leave my room
the bed has been left unmade for years
with wrinkled clothes covering the floor
my sisters are yelling again
dad is pissed
my music is drowning them out
but my battery is low
mom is still at work
she's going to be home late again
pizza or fried chicken?
if i don't get up soon then i won't get any
but moving is just too much energy
i can't handle the boredom
but i just can't make myself get up
in my bed watching another show on repeat
The words of the actress are so familiar to me
my boyfriend called me again
he's playing video games stoned
and his battery is low
his phone is going to die soon
my friends and i used to talk all the time
but i've stopped replying
they believe i'm mad but in reality
i can't seem to think of what to say
i'm so tired of everything
but i can't cook up the effort
to wake myself up
