Confused, fused, abused, used.

There are chemicals in my brain

They refrained and rearranged to a place where they flooded and drained

All out, depleted, emptied out my entire past, memories have been deleted

This is such a mess I cannot come to grasp

day to day living is such a blur and full of insecurities

Not knowing where I come from and can't be free within society

Trapped inside a box that's made of glass that will not break

Strength like a diamond, can't even be scratched, and what I perceive seems so fake

This epidemic is becoming a well known fact

No way to explain this state of mind or feeling to the world so all I can do Is simply act

Pretend things are fine and becoming a robot leaving me depersonalized

Technology is a distraction of thoughts waiting for my demise

Stuck in a disguise of happiness it's a disgusting life of lies

Lies of smiles that aren't worth while, so far gone that no tears even come to my brown eyes

Sitting, sleeping, breathing loneliness, toes curling, sad to my stomach, so sick, my thoughts race and whirl

Dreamland, fear is grand, this isn't an easy fight, so I curl

Into a ball of self pity

Hold my head up high and wait until this darkness turns into light

Wondering if my soul is still even inside of me

Numb as nova-cane
