Up and then down
Up and then down
The need for new the want for nothing.
The world is my oyster the darkness keeping me shelled.
My bed always calling, although I’m electric.
I wish it was as easy as one or the other, or neither and either.
But we’re rarely given the choice with mental health so we live and push forward.
Despite.

Hanging on by a thread
They see it in your eyes
Window to your mind
Are you gonna make it
Will you be fine
Slave to your fears
Thoughts racing and you can't keep up
Out of breath, can't move
Looks like your stuck
I'm not oblivious
But what can I do
I'm trying to keep myself together
But I'm running out of glue
I know it's wrong to wonder
If I'd feel better dead
But I'm lost out here in oblivion

mania
rotating in the atmosphere
mania its talking to me
seen aberrations refer to me
in sync I speak
turning in the elements
turned up naturally
i concur
it's a hazard
I need to come down to Earth
winding my way in the sky
I scream
leaning on my intelligence to keep me sane
little G is in
talking shit
flinging dispersions
boy crazy soul child
getting the best of me

Fragile life
Fragile life
Guiding light
For the blind
Trust noone
Especially yourself
When broken thoughts are your life
Run from one sinking ship to another
Titanic, Britannic
It's all so manic
Colors fade and go away
When you're having an episode
"Welcome to the show!
We've got something for all the girls and boys!"
Lying in bed
Smothered in covers
The circus still rages in my head
It's a toxic combination
Tears fall
Sometime...

Lost at sea
Lost at sea
Storms erupt around me
Darkness blooms and grows wild
Waves of rage
Inundate
And wash away
The fear of despair
Where is the lighthouse
Path to home and happiness
Safety from the battle within
Soaked in tears of regret
I hold out hope
For rescue and reprieve
Storms erupt around me
Darkness blooms and grows wild
Waves of rage
Inundate
And wash away
The fear of despair
Where is the lighthouse
Path to home and happiness
Safety from the battle within
Soaked in tears of regret
I hold out hope
For rescue and reprieve

Lost angel
Time kills but memories live eternal
Time fails and memories always fade
When I first saw you
A blazing angel in summer's night
You were lost among the mortals
Craving to be graced by your light
And when I speak
To you tonight
Bless me with
Your flaming sight
You see me bleed
Renew me with God's speed
Time heals but memories live eternal
Time fails and memories always fade
Last time that I saw you
Fading into autumn's night
Freezing in the chilling rain

cling
inside the bleak there is a nothingness that overcomes
shadows that grow large and envelope
it is fear, you know?
it swallows previous hopes
and incites unrest within me
it quietly brews then reaches my core
it's scarred terrain
I make my way through it slowly
trying to make sense of the unknown
I don't know why I get riled
I wish to put to an end to it quickly
what will fear teach me, how to doubt?
it seems like a meaningless feeling
yet it looms over me

doldrums
gracious greed in a depressive state
stare at the emptiness, its impressive
seeking solace inside the sorrow
I regress myself to see what has me down
down deep I hate myself, I think
I try to change but it does no good
who am I fooling really/
a counterfeit me who's going to buy that
it doesn't work
so I am stuck here feeling moody
it's where I'm comfortable, in the deep end
sorrow is my friend
she never lets me down
I'm on good speaking terms with my negativity
it is second nature
I can pretend I'm...

emo bi-polar emptiness
enduring the plight
we suffer the indignity
we trudge through the mire
insults be damned we are who we are
it is because of the dark our tongues are sharp
thick with blood spitting disdain
I want to edify still, I'm existing in the madness
emptiness culls the hurt
escapism for the guilt
needy feelings getting the best of me
I seek to come back to the surface
break through the bleak
but I'm going through a moment
give me a minute to compose myself
I will stick my guts back in
after you eviscerate me ...

quell
sadness quells the madness for a moment
it insinuates itself into my emotions
a heavy cloud brewing with feeling
sorrow swirls in the now
I can feel the descent
into the fogginess of pine
my mood alters considerably because of lack of focus
I can't concentrate on any one thing
I lack control in these sessions of doubt
I look over my life with trepidation
fear cloys my soul and I feel suffocated
weep for the day
keen for tomorrow
I don't know where I will land
it presses on me daily
but my mental health...

tempo
in tempo with my racing thoughts
I seek to console my soul
to no avail
little thoughtless feelings
full of rancor
insinuate their underlying sarcastic views
in an already volatile state of mind
I turn over the snide remarks my ego makes
and bend them
painting a smiley face on the obscure ideas
then present them as good
I don't think anyone is fooled
goblins of a dark nature make merry
insidious greed is grueling
and makes my monsters do acrobatics
stunts an already defunct mood is wary of

Marianne
Morbid maelstrom of thoughts
Anchor to the dismal catatonic despair
Reflected in your woebegone eyes
In addition to your empty stare
Angst lingers on with every breath
Nonpareil is your endless pain
Nonetheless, your brittle soul
Eagerly awaits to be saved...
