I'll never control this full fledged sickness
The dark will sneak past all my defenses
My demons will fight off all happiness
Even as I smile, I'm losing grip

Gathering all six of my withering senses
I prepare for the oncoming crash
Groped by invisible demons
Whipped by flashes of my past

I'm drowning out all the reasons
To stop fighting this back
Banished into corners of pain
Only to be coaxed back into shame
Ghosts of my reality laugh and laugh
As I struggle to fight against the grain

They are so unafraid of my strength
Unlike me, nothing terrifies or paralyses
They are empty shells
Shooting through a broken fence
And disconnected from any confidence
I let them break me apart again
And I let them shatter my remains
I let them torture me another day
Because granting permission
Just has to be better than
Admitting I'm insane
