running through my feelings, I ignite
burning down the burden
instruments of doom don't do it for me
shake off the thoughts, that trouble
suspicious sadness, trying to suck me in
a vortex of pain
I’ve been here before
it does no good chewing on the emotion
it doesn’t go away it grows
in the nighttime glare my flaws in neon
attracting negative attention
affections traded for a moment’s reprieve
sadder still, is my reflection in your eyes
my madness known I take that over sorrow anyday
mania wraps round me lifting me up
giving me delusions of grandeur
grand enough to forget where I stand in this world
painful redemption, I get too far out there
and the earth trips me up
tethered to the mortal coil I touch down
back in the flesh that disturbs me
