They can't tell what's wrong with you from the outside. They can't tell what's wrong with you from the outside. They can't tell what's wrong with you. Is my illness truly  invisible? Or am I just deluding myself again? My thoughts are racing, falling, tumbling, maybe their right to call me insane. Don't ask me to speak because I don't want to; words don't mean a thing any more Instead I write and write onto sheets of white into the abyss my heart is poured. I hear their screams in my head all the time a pleading in my ear, I'm the one who's living this hell so why is it me you fear? I carry on breathing everyday despite the creatures living inside and I will keep living in every way until one day I don't even cry.

This Illness
They can't tell what's wrong with you from the outside. They can't tell what's wrong with you from the outside. They can't tell what's wrong with you. Is my illness truly  invisible? Or am I just deluding myself again? My thoughts are racing, falling, tumbling, maybe their right to call me insane. Don't ask me to speak because I don't want to; words don't mean a thing any more Instead I write and write onto sheets of white into the abyss my heart is poured. I hear their screams in my head all the time a pleading in my ear, I'm the one who's living this hell so why is it me you fear? I carry on breathing everyday despite the creatures living inside and I will keep living in every way until one day I don't even cry.
