No, doctor that's not the
No, doctor that's not the problem
You don't understand
I'm putting guns to my head like I don't own my hands
I'm laughing so loud in a room with my friends but
as soon as I'm home I feel slightly deranged
There's darkness inside me, doctor,
that's stopping me from living
turning the whole world grey when
it used to be so vivid
making me a person that cannot stand
to continue living
because everything seems pointless
and the clock just keeps on ticking
The light is still not coming to the end of my tunnel
Will there always be this black in my vision? I feel like
I'm seeing double because one moment I can't contain myself
I'm radiating light
Then all at once the sun sets and I'm struggling to survive the night
Does bliss still exist in this seemingly endless fight?
This weight on my chest is reaching a new height
Or rather low, I feel the blackness grow
I just don't know if you can fix me, doctor
Am I another lost cause?
IV's and finger pricks
Wrap me up with gauze
You can try to heal me from the outside
But it's the inside that is off.
