Ten Breathless Minutes

Ten breathless minutes in the darkness Dark swirls keep spelling out dark words It feels neurotic and catatonic The choir sings the disease is chronic Ten silent seconds in the darkness Everything I try Just leaves me broken inside The highs and the lows Don't give justice to these blows Affirmations aren't working Therapy's not for me I see what I want but I push it away Cuz my brains always foggy The mirrors I can't see Reflect something sick and violent and decayed Getting tossed around the room in my brain My heart just may stop I'm going insane These ten breathless minutes for hours on end Still extend Still pretend Every second I spend wasting away from sunlight I'm on the edge Tipping over If things keep going like this I may sink into nothing to hold onto Keeping me warm And support that holds me in a grip That seems I'm less alone (I'm alone) Every person that slips from my hands Looks onto every dream that gets lost in the sand Covering every finger that stays stiff and cold Reaching out to the tears that get stuck in my throat Affirmations aren't working Therapy's not for me I see what I want but I push it away Cuz my brains always foggy The mirrors I can't see Reflect something sick and violent and decayed Getting tossed around the room my brain My heart just may stop I'm going insane These ten breathless minutes for hours on end Still extend Still pretend Ten breathless minutes in the darkness Dark swirls keep spelling out dark words I feel neurotic and catatonic The choir sings the disease is chronic Ten silent seconds in the darkness
