I'm becoming scared to feel
Just in case I fall
Avoiding everything I love
Avoiding it like the plague
Lest it should take me under
Everything that resonates with me
Resonates to cacophony
A harmonic that brings down the strongest of structures
Drowning out all but the voice in my head
Telling me it's not okay
I had a dream last night
Except I was wide awake
I could feel my organs seethe and writhe
Under my crawling skin... I'm losing control
I'm trapped outside my bones
Terrified and tortured, I can't sleep
Six feet deep under my own bloodstream
This deafening cacophony in my head
Is trying to kill me
Breathe naturally
[DON'T FOCUS ON IT]
Relax in your skin prison
[DON'T FOCUS ON IT]
"Do something" - with less than no energy
[DON'T FOCUS ON IT]
"Go write a song" - but don't think about it
"It's all in your head"
...except it's transcended
To my lungs, and myocardium
Visceral misery.
Exist against the grain to survive
The positives are inharmonic.
