At night I crawl,
Spread out and creep,
Forever awake
Barely ever asleep
They are open
The pathways of my eyes,
But I’m not listening
It’s a familiar disguise
The panic is suppressed
And the mask starts to shake,
Again it’s exhausting
Forever awake
I don’t need understanding
I don’t need belief
What I need from my thinking
Is some truth and relief
It’s a lifelong phase
To live mentally ill
To you its invisible
To me it’s fucking real.
