We're all tired but we'll never sleep again We'll stare at the ceiling and flip through the images of our mistakes in our heads We'll make up problems to solve Or think of things that could go wrong We'll just be mad at people Or we'll sit there and cry until we pass out at one in the morning Or until we go to school at seven We've all broken down before, and all my friends, I think we're the ones they forgot to fix Or we're the lost causes Or maybe we're just invisible But we're the only people who can resent our own hearts for beating Our minds for thinking Our feet for taking another step. Maybe we strive for invisibility And fall in love with every second that we aren't seen Every second that we can't hear our own hearts race Every second that we don't drown in our own thoughts The happy thoughts always seemed to go too fast The peaceful thoughts never seemed to exist We constantly move and tremor Even when we're sitting still We think ourselves to the edge of the earth And some of us have fallen off Some of us just keep looking down But no one is looking forward anymore I'm sure that we could, if we tried But we just don't want to anymore
I gave up today. I stood up and I walked off. I didn't even look behind myself. I didn't speak. I didn't cry. I gave up, And I walked off.
