We need to talk
You need to listen
Because my mind is crushing my ambition
And I know for a fact,
That I'm not alone,
My mind's not intact,
It's missing the ozone
Because it's not protected,
If that wasn't clear
My ambition is rejected
And only fear's to appear

I used to be so full of life
Loving everything, lots of friends
And now all I wanna do is take a knife
To cut out the darkness, trying to make amends
And now my motivation is going on a trip,
I'm not sure where it went, maybe it's somewhere on a cruise ship
I just know that it isn't here,
In my heart, my head or at all near
My ambition is killed, it's been murdered,
Now how am I supposed to be determined
To find my purpose, find a goal,
My brain's not really working, at least not as a whole

The fusebox is really old, that electrician spoke,
But I've just moved in! That's not possible, is it broke?
The man nodded "Yes." And I seemed confused,
Then what do I have left? It's the only thing I've used.
It's supposed to help me, not hold me back
Because the root of this issue
That simultaneously doesn't know how to continue
It the thing that's writing these words
It's being chased by demons, in herds
I think it's trying it's best, trying to fix me
But it's what caused it in the first place, so trying? Hardly.

My frenemy is holding me captive,
I've wanted to escape but the outside world is unattractive
It's not that bad, my friend keeps me alive
Since when is that enough, simply to survive?
My enemy is caging me, I'm screaming to get out
Why's he even doing this, what's it all about?
Maybe I'll just stay here, it's safe right here
Maybe I'll just break out and run away, completely disappear
