It's not that bad, you say
You have no idea what i endure
Every day in my own mind
Tidal waves pulling me under
I could be totally lost at sea
You would never know
Because i'm not physically deteriorating
But i was mentally gone
So long ago
It's amazing what you can hide
Just by putting on a smile
Pretty soon
My physical body
Will catch up just wait and see
Now they're on their way
To the last part that makes me human
Uh, oh to late she's dead
"We had no idea" they said
You could have saved her
You were too naive to see
Demons always start at the mind
Then send more
Draining the life
Flooding with poison
Life is a lesson
A mental illness doesn't have to be physical
