The Madness Within
it happened again, another time, oh, damn
i opened too much, the flames inside i fanned
i showed too much of my madness
i'd rather you saw my not-so-secret sadness
you don't need to know that i'm insane
i'd rather not continue digging my own grave
it's slowed again, my air circulation
such panic at this revelation
by tomorrow, you'll all surely hate me
why am i like this? am i fated
to always mess it up? this chasm
between us, the anger, bitter sarcasm
every word i say comes out wrong
it's like a very off-key song
the way i...

Overwhelmed
the world moves around me so fast
words and phrases I can't grasp
faces I never will remember
doors I cannot ever enter
love I'll never again feel
dreams that never will be real
numbers, too many to count
a sky in which I'll drown
beauty, to never again see
a heart that'll never again beat
my state, to not return
my fire, to never again burn
i dont care for their provocations
these meaningless conversations
this world is way too overwhelming
and I'm not buying what they're selling
can't help but think that i am...

Her and I
the mirror stands in front of me
i look at it, it scares me
the person staring back at me
isn’t someone i want to be
she has cuts, i have scars
i am near and she is far
i am hers, but she’s not mine
i feel good and she is fine
i am nice, but she is not
i’m alive, she’s left to rot
i will fight, but she will cry
she is wrong and i am right
she’s a bitch and i’m a person
but now i feel our roles reversing
suddenly, i am the bad guy
i feel my world start to divide
there’s her, and then there’s...

Just Wear A Mask
just wear a mask."
this is only happening in China
no need to get all scared right now
we'll be perfectly fine, duh
"just wear a mask."
i'm so happy they're quarantining us
a week off school for us
really, no need to make a fuss
"just wear a mask."
you know, maybe, i will
even though it suffocates me
this now seems more real
"just wear a mask."
as i'm buying me more food
yeah, perhaps i should
or i'll get sick, i would
locked up in our homes
when social interaction is a no
i am...

I swear, I'm fine
are you okay?’ they ask, and i reply,
‘really, why are you worried? i swear, i’m fine.’
but i know that i’m really not okay
that this is all a mask, a pretty face
when in reality, i’m not all right
in fact, i’m actually quite messed up
everything feels so weird all the time
somehow, i always feel like i’m committing a crime
something is amiss, that much is clear
and if i had a choice, i’d rather not be here
i wish i was a cloud so i could fly
so i could soar into the sky
my books have more of myself in them ...
