lyrics

Another panic attack in a crowded place,
Another lightless night in an empty space.
I know I’m ill and they’re not laughing at me,
But I can’t shake the feeling they just might be.
Another day, I can’t sit down or I can’t get up,
Another day where I can’t talk or I talk too much.
Can’t shake the feeling that nobody,
Knows the sickness, the shame, inside of me.

I am a cigarette waiting to be burned,
I’m a malignancy waiting to be confirmed.
I am a dark cloud waiting to clutch the sky.
I am a terminal case waiting to die.

I am a sharpened blade waiting to taste flesh,
I am a loading screen waiting to be refreshed.
I am a fresh cadaver waiting to rot,
I’m a throbbing temple waiting to be shot.

Another panic attack in a crowded place,
Another lightless night in an empty space.
I know I’m ill and they’re not laughing at me,
But I can’t shake the feeling they just might be.
Another day, I can’t sit down or I can’t get up,
Another day where I can’t talk or I talk too much.
Can’t shake the feeling that nobody,
Knows the sickness, the shame, inside of me.

I could try to crawl on, I could try to get by,
I could try to suppress these violent desires.
I don’t think I’ve got the nerve, don’t even think I could try,
But, I’ve got a few arteries and a kitchen knife.

I’ve got no self-pity and no self-respect,
I think about suicide more than I think about sex.
I guess that probably means that I’m truly sick,
I guess it probably means I’m just a bipolar prick.

Another panic attack in a crowded place,
Another lightless night in an empty space.
I know I’m ill and they’re not laughing at me,
But I can’t shake the feeling they just might be.
Another day, I can’t sit down or I can’t get up,
Another day where I can’t talk or I talk too much.
Can’t shake the feeling that nobody
Knows the sickness, the shame, the reality,
The repulsion, the pain, the hostility,
The self-loathing, the torture, the misery,
That feeds the sickness, the shame inside of me.
Lying inside of me.
