Tremble, shiver, shake
Shake, shiver, tremble,
Watch me disassemble
Nauseus, forcing myself to eat
Tired and hyper, just want to sleep
Is this new? Just ADHD and OCD? Maybe anxiety
Whatever it is, my minds running in circles like a grand prix
Yeah well, I'm not Mario-Kart, so why can't it get out of my head
The only way I can think of to avoid it is just going to bed
I've heard sleep is healthy, but is that true when it's an escape?
I don't think so, maybe, at least it silences the debate
Going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth and back
And of course the constant battle of a paranoiac
But of course, this is only amplified
By the hyper and shaky ways of I
And only when I awake
Do I tremble, shiver, and shake
