coming to terms with dying alone
mindless lobotomy staring at phone
after having a life that is empty at most
brain damaged parasite seeking a host
i have 22 years worth of baggage you see
and nobody can carry such deadweight for me
im expendable surely im great for the good
but the bad is so bad that it ruins the mood
exploding head syndrome is always a blast
and i bend over backwards and land on my ass
which is always the issue thats holding me back
making excuses for people who treat me like crap
so id stay home from school but now school is at home
so i lay in my bed all day browsing my phone
neurodivergency eating my time
wasting my life being online
down at rock bottom , midlife crisis coming soon
throwing me out from a plane with no parachute
i have no plans for my life and nothing to do
nothing to do
down in the gutter, surrounded by sewage drains
stinking up everything till i relapse again
rock bottom doesn’t feel so different from my bed
so i guess
coming to terms with my spinstery self
is less of a shame spiral more like accept
so i’ll just live as a vampire suck out the fun
of every person who thinks im the one
i dont like to imagine the future at all
but maybe without all the trouble of love
i’d be fine on my own drinking blood from a bag
500 years old and still just as sad
so the futures abhorrent , and the past is a pain
and the present is empty and boring and lame
homemade brain tumor eating my skull
gnawing and gnashing head empty no thoughts
and livings repetitive lifes just a bust
everythings relative i am just dust
just the bug you brush of your ear
singing my songs that nobody hears
down at rock bottom , midlife crisis come again
throwing me out from a roof with no working brain
i have no goals for my life and nothing to say
nothing to say
down in the gutter, surrounded by rusty pipes
falling asleep in the shitwater overnight
from shit i have come and to shit i’ll return thats fine
thats fine

did i take my meds today
is my brain feeling ok?
my ugly face in the mirrors tells me i am losing sleep or
im just scared of hurting others
now im sitting with my friend
she’s intelligent in ways that i will never comprehend
i’ve been told my songs are sad, so sad they’re hard to listen to
but i just write and sing because i never know what else to do
i started journalling a lot which made me fall into a block
and now when writing songs i never know if they are good enuff
im sleeping until i become my bed
im always sleeping
in a sleeping bag that feels like when we hug
a calming feeling
i am singing until i become this song
and im still singing
to the strangers on the internet who listen to my feelings
can you help me halfway there
cus i’ve got blisters on my feet
i always feel like im manipulating you to care for me and i am
scared that you’ll forget me
and my back is cramping up
cus my posture is as bad as my ability to love
and i was good at writing songs
when i was singing to the empty void
but now cus people listen i am scared that that was all i had to say
cus if i’m happy i can’t write but i dont wanna be this sad
and i cannot prioritize i’ve always been the worst at that
im sleeping until i become my bed
im always sleeping
in a sleeping bag that feels like when we hug
a calming feeling
i am singing until i become this song
and im still singing
to the strangers on the internet who listen to my feelings
if you listen does that mean that you are sad?
i hope it doesn’t
cus i know my songs are sorta on the fence when tackling problems
and my therapist was like: maybe just focus on the good
but i would rather scream this illness out in shitty singing
you can sing along if you think maybe that would help
im singing for you
it might be cheesy but at least you have a friend
who knows the feeling
i am singing until i become this song
and im still singing
to the strangers on the internet who listen to my feelings, who listen to my feelings, who listen to my feelings, who listen to my feelings

hurting myself
02:24
|
|||
just because i survived
doesnt make me stronger
i dont feel like a survivor
i feel like frankensteins monster
artificially alive
with shackles stapled to my ankles
carrying weights that aren’t mine
with a body torn and tangled
i am still alive just like a cockroach
hiding underneath your sink
i survived but not on purpose
and what do i have to show for it?
a repertoire of sorry songs
and calloused fingers playing chords
i write and write with no prevail
i have a backpack full of rocks but all the rocks build up in time
and whilst i know their mine to carry , they were never really mine
i have to bear your heavy burden, have to bear it and survive
but god i can’t keep pushing rocks up hills when they keep rolling down
so im staying in my dirt hole
like an ostrich saving face
leave my tossed out dirty clothes around
like a makeshift bed
and if i curl up in the corner
to cry until i sleep
that’ll be another question
i’ll avoid and then repeat
not saving myself for anyone
im saving you from me
cus im as toxic as a wasteland
and as awful as can be
im like candy good in portions
but ill carve holes in your teeth
and ill smother all your organs
till you grow tired of me
i have a chain that jinge jangles all the way home to my bed
and if my bodys scarred and mangled that means im making progress
i know moving on will hurt and holy fuck it hurts like hell
but god i can’t push rocks up hills without hurting myself

dysfunctioning
01:38
|
|||
ive been cleaning for a while
i got boxes stacked on boxes
crinkled paper in a pile
dirty boxers, dirty socks
and i got spiderwebs galore
that i yank at with a broom
i got sadness in my core
so i've got sadness in my room
so i let the window air out
all the dust i left behind
when my decomposing body
was a normal thing to find
when my duvet was always sticky
from the rotting of my skin
and my floor was always covered
in the clothes i couldnt fit
ive been making quite the mess
cus ive been acting really reckless
my floors almost picture-esque
how its been totally neglected
how the trash bags and the tissues
and the empty packs of smokes
aren’t really the real issue
more a loud and cosmic joke
and i am laying on the floor
and now im dumbly loudly weeping
cus its just a boring chore
and its so late i should be sleeping
but im tryna get up, figure out
this can of worms I’ve opened
but i cannot crack it after all
this puzzles messy surface
i have books and books and books and books and books and books
and furbies on display
i have trash and trash and trash
my little ponys in my bed
a box of lighters without gas and tom and jerry magazines
and little trinkets made of glass and dusty bootleg figurines
and an insane amount of guilt i pack in plastic garbage bags
so i can cover them in silk and let them swim in seas of trash
and my executive dysfunction is a life-line in this mess
so i will start something and give up and then do it all again

inner dialogue
03:19
|

dumbass what are you doing? tell me!
can’t you see that person didnt care what you were saying
you got ignored again cus you are boooring
but can you really blame them when you act the way you do?
listen stupid, you are ugly. all your friends know too
just look at them, you see how they avoid ya?
you are the darkness that surrounds you
thats why everybody hates you
and trust me everybody hates you
take a breath and take one more until ur hyperventilating
be ashamed of your anxiety, another thing ur faking
please do everyone a favour and just quit this whiny shit
but you’re enjoying this pretending, you’re enjoying acting sick
if you really were depressed then tell me how come you are laughing?
i live inside your brain so i can tell when you are bluffing
please stop crying, im just telling you the truth, somebodys gotta
when you’ve got everybody else convinced
fuckface why are you happy? stop it!
dont forget the razor that i stuffed into ur pocket
just be yourself. lame and gloomy.
do you really think that anyone would you like you if they knew me?
listen asshole, you are worthless.
just a nervous little creep who never really found a purpose.
think you’ll catch up? you’ll be sorry.
the only thing you’re really good fors making everybody worried
little loser you should hold your breath and never breathe again
you should just realise by now i am your one and only friend
you think that anyone would like you if they knew what you were thinking?
it doesn’t take a lot to see right thru your bullshit made-up illness
i see everything about you that you try so hard to hide
every single ugly thought and every single fucked up part
you wanna hurt your friends? well go ahead, stick around and watch
you will inherently cause problems if you choose to get involved
little blood girl wheres your power? wheres that confidence you preach?
are you just a little liar? just a little lying freak?
are you deaf? why dont you answer? cut your thighs and make it bleed
i can make you do the things that makes your shrink break down and weep
no one likes you, they will kill you, everyone is out to get you,
you’re a liar, a deciever, no one cares about your pain
fucking scumbag, youre a fake and you’re a fraud and you’re a failure
you should just die, it’d lift a burden from your friends
you think your illness is whats holding you back? truth is it is you
you are the reason for your illness, everything that you’ve been thru
you’re only as bad as your worst thoughts
and where does that leave you?
kill everyone, kill everyone, kill yourself! come on!
just be grateful cause i could be worse, im censored for this song
you are thinking this so there must be some truth in here somewhere?
dont you think so too?
blood girl why are you hiding?
even with the tv on im here inside your mind
why dont you answer anymore? im bored just playing with myself
its way more fun when you throw up or think you’re gonna go to hell
the pills won’t kill me, i hope you know that
i am a chronic little demon
and ill stay cus your my best friend
whats gas lighting? like on a stove?
oh by the way
was the oven on before you left for school?

lying to myself
03:16
|
|||
most of what i write about is sadness but i guess
its just an easier emotion to dig into than the rest
theres always layers top of layers of self hatred i can dig thru
whilst the positives just gather dust in corners of my brain goo
when i go to sleep i watch the dust bunnies like pretty flowers
and i count the sheep while they tirelessly jump around for hours
the night is gorgeous in its greyish blue and i love how calm i feel
when im awake inside this quietness that almost feels unreal
why am i crying? crying over what?
and my pillowcase is drying with ounces of my snot
i feel like emptiness colliding cus i am bored by everything
but i just want to feel alright ish i dont want to feel like shit
why am i lying? lying cus of what?
cus i keep telling you i am fine but im actually not
i think its more about my own shit than anybody else
but that doesn’t make it less weird cus then im just lying to myself
im going sorta crazy how bout you are you ok?
i miss my friends and i miss school but time just flies and goes away
i think two weeks are spent now nothings new just laying in my bed
im taking naps to try and sleep until its all normal again
keeping up with everyone has been the hardest task
cus back before this quarantine i saw them at their desks
in school we sat out on the balcony and smoked when we felt like it
now the weather is amazing but we’re all stuck in our apartments
why am i crying? crying over what?
and my pillowcase is drying with ounces of my snot
i feel like emptiness colliding cus i am bored by everything
but i just want to feel alright ish i dont want to feel like shit
why am i lying? lying cus of what?
cus i keep telling you i am fine but im actually not
i think its more about my own shit than anybody else
but that doesn’t make it less weird cus then im just lying to myself
why am i hiding? hiding cus of what?
cus if i want to go outside i can do that if i want
but i just dont have a routine now it was pulled out of my hands
and now its expected that i do the things i could but now i can’t
why am i dying? dying over what?
its like stupid how im trying it makes life feel like a job
i am an expert in my own shit but i miss everyone else
everything is weird now im just lying to myself

i can't
02:03
|
|||
this song won’t write it self instead i yank it out with force
i keep on twisting hoping something gives something like sweet remorse
i dont remember anymore why i now avoid my friends
something just split in me and then i kept on wishing for the end
i had a conflict brewing up, something that felt just like a storm
but now my feelings simmered down and chose to hide and shrivel up
i cannot vocalise my fears i cannot feel when i am mad
i cannot dream about the good i only dream about the bad
hi how are you? i am shit, in fact im getting worse and worse
i want to cry but i feel numb, someone just call the fucking nurse
i keep on hitting what i thought was now the lowest of my low
but then theres something under that, another endless hungry hole
i know you’ll hate me in the end, i feel it come to that at last
i am too needy, im too much, i am like touching broken glass
you cannot care for me enough, and i can’t satisfy my needs
so i will want and i will want and never feel relief
i want to die i want to dig a hole to hide in for a while
i want to sleep until i finally wake up and start to cry
i feel so strung up like a rubberband, two seconds till i pop
but i can’t stop myself from bottling everything up
i am wicked worse and what a curse that is
to be the ever lonely wicked witch
i am so overly involved
but i am still detached
i want to help you but i can’t

all in vain
02:03
|
|||
scatterbrained and overeager
pressed like paper thin and sharp
touch my edges they may cut u
feed my body to the sharks
household rules are always sacred
creaking staircase leads to death
if i dont believe in magic
ill believe in human pain
monster cans and crumpled paper
notebooks full of pleas for help
i feel like i just one from coma
3 years down the sewer drain
undiagnosed adhd
feels like falling fast asleep
always seriously joking
always not the enough i see
hi how are u? i am great!
i have finally, oh finally given up on trying
i am flightless like a bird
i am fightless and it hurts
but at least i know now it was all in vain
hi how are u? i am swell!
i have finally oh finally given up on trying
i am flightless like a bird
i am fightless and it hurts
but at lest i know now that it was all in vain
unequipped for friendships and bad at being human
pressing a bandaid to broken bones
if i can always predict who will abandon me next
i can stay at a distance that will cushion the blow
ill never really get it, i never ever did
so i have finally oh finally given up on trying
i am barely even here
there are no pieces left to shatter
but at least i know now it was all in vain

in the meantime
02:15
|

i haven’t felt like myself for so long
i dont know who i've become
in the meantime
as the world passes by
i’ve been bedridden almost for a month
caught up cabin feber gone
in the meantime
everybodys moving on
i cannot focus and now i am on my own
i am utterly alone i am left to die again
all my friends all my friends
are so dear but far away i am cooped up in my bed
dissapearing without trace
the world is caving in around my skull
making me forget that i can talk
making me forget how to reach out
making me forget that im allowed
but i can’t sleep in any longer
i can’t stay like this for life
im not sick enough but sick enough to never be alright
i am wrongly wired really tired
fighting for my right
to have a little hope that i will someday turn out fine
i haven’t felt happy for so long
i dont know where it has gone
in the meantime
i’ve been sleeping quite a lot
i’ve pretended everything was going fine
so i didn’t have to lie
if somebody asked me if ive gotten worse
i am sloppy with excuses always covering my ass
i am scared of getting help
cus what if that shit doesn’t last
im on meds but still depressed
and therapy it didn’t help
so im just tired of the fighting
can i ever catch a break?
i am happy for you happy for you but im so afraid
i am trying i am trying but i want this shit to end
i am lonely i am lonely yet avoiding all my friends
i am scared yes i am scared that i will always be in pain
i am wallowing im wallowing but god it feels so good
i am painfully aware that im not doing what i should
i am tired of it, tired of it, but i still can’t sleep
i am sorry i am sorry that i always feel like shit

borderline brain
03:50
|

got a borderline brain just a chronic concussion!
so whats your problem dear? my problem? pfft nothing!
how bout with life in itself can ya fix that? hey listen
dya have something along the lines of personality fixing?
hows your head ? well I’ve only had complaints!
i went home from the doctor with a note on my brain
saying: here lies the problem you were trying to find
should’ve known the source was in me when my mouth always tastes like bile
got shitfuck immune system sick as a dog
im bored outta my mind coughing yellow snot up
the psychiatrist talked to me like i was dumb
it was hard not to get up and scream from the top of my lungs
yeah my brains not the best it has several pests
sewer rats scour thru it tryna find trash to ingest
yet im doing what i can with it I’ve always done that
i dont need pity i am fine i am
ok with everything being fucked up with me having shit luck
already knew that much but hey why not just pile it on
im like hardwood im infested with my childhood home
im like broken bottles bestest when thrown out of control
im like home before the sundown but sundown never stops
especially when you’re abused at home while growing up
im like just sneak out in the morning and hope they dont wake up
im like why are you so thirsty? why are you so rough?
even in the nights where i was sure i would die i never prayed
instead i clasped my fingers tight and told god if he ever showed his face i would show him
the true meaning behind the sin of wrath i got borderline anger i am barely holding back
and god its been festering for years and i am still pissed at you
i already got a shitty dad i dont need two
i got a borderline brain with some extra spicy spices
with depression and avoidant sprinkled over it like lice
i have ocd that follows me around at every turn
i got a list that is too long for them to print it on my urn
like here lies blood girl: cause of death unknown
but even when im dead someone will try to have my cover blown
and share my lifestory that was never meant for them
share my saddest secrets with their friends colleagues friend
cause im just a wet specimen sitting on the shelf
gods favourite part time play is making people mentally ill
thats why i just dance around the saddest clown he got
he snaps his fingers suddenly ill cry and wanna cut
borderline is scary i got mood swings for days
anger that i hate feelings that feel fake
i am worried im lying to myself even when
i am clearly so sick that i couldn’t even tell
and even in the nights where i was sure id commit suicide i never prayed
instead i clasped my fingers tight and told myself to never go that way and to show them
the true meaning behind changing ways i got years of being my own therapist i should get payed
and i will keep bettering myself until im better than the rest!
and i can do that even with my brain full of pests!

holding onto hope
03:07
|
|||
finally quitting nicotine after almost 6 years ive been
sucking down the gasoline lighting up my lungs and feeling
hollowed out and thrown away living like a rat
and ive been trying to take care of myself but im no good at that
ive watched all of my dvds and listened to the same songs on repeat and ive been crying more than usual and talking in my sleep
and ive been neglecting my diary and favoring my phone , and playing new horizons daily cus i cannot leave my home
yeah I’ve been talking to my doctor and psychiatrist and shrink and ive been cleaning up my messes and then messing up again
and ive been reaching out in blindness just to grab somebodys hand and weirdly reaching bottom just to crawl back up again
hadnt rly pictured getting better but i have and i am
just as shocked as grateful tho i know it doesnt last forever
maybe dealing with the ups and down is crucial to exist
forgive myself for all those years i feel like i have missed?
holding onto hope onto hope
that the person i was once would be proud of the me thats not doing this alone
anymore anymore
independancys a bore
reaching out is not a bandaid its a part of growing up
my shrink thinks i have tendencies to believe all the negatives
my brain is always feeding me, and over-sharing actually keeps
me from real vulnerability , and i just let it power me
a puppet to a lifetime of survivors muscle memory
so what if internalise and get depressive and go into
hiding almost paralysed by this overwhelming urge
to just give up and sleep forever
just give up on getting better
but i am too stubborn to stand down and give up so i betcha
even if im tired even if my feet are sore that i will
walk this spiky road with much more passion than before
maybe getting blisters is a part of moving on
accept myself for all the things i feel like I’ve done wrong?
holding onto past onto past
is the thing holding me back gotta keep keeping on write an awful lot of songs
make some sense of this brain thats been keeping me away
from the things that i want
moving on and growing up
growing up growing up
is the next upcoming stop in this path that i took, tho its scary it is good
letting go, getting well felt so far away but then
i became someone else and im braver than back then
