and it is creeping under my sheets and pulling the blanket over my head
i can barely breathe and see nothing but darkness and there is no escape

it is my companion when im alone and always offers its friendship
he is a trend and people claim him
but he is not all that made of to be
he is not cool and is not made for just the need of sympathetic words
he is the short sentences and lost interest
the lack of sleep at night when my mind is racing
i have a partner that follows me around and i would do anything just to give him up

people ask why
and how can i explain something that even i cannot make sense of
how can i explain the shutting box and closing doors
how can i explain the emptiness i feel and how numb i get

the tears shed without reason
the need for a hand to pull me up
someone to replace my mind
how can i love anyone when i am accompanied by another who consumes all of my time and thoughts
