Blood shot eyes, I’ve been hardly sleeping. Losing time, my senses slowly slipping. Opened eyes, my mind starts to deceive me every time. I can’t seem to get a grip. This feeling I have I can’t fix. Something is taking over me. Beginning of my misery. I start to lose my fucking mind, lost control of everything. Eyes can’t close, I’ve hardly blinked. I can’t even run or fucking hide, exposed to a false reality panicking as I over-think. I feel awry, I’m not alright. What is happening? Something’s crawling under -I feel awry, I’m not alright. What is happening? Something’s crawling under me. Silhouettes appear then vanish right before my eyes. Can’t comprehend it so I start to panic. Breathe in deep, I think the room is closing in on me. My ears are ringing loudly, music creeps hauntingly beautiful harmonies. I can’t seem to get a grip. This feeling I have I can’t fix. Something is taking over me. Beginning of my insanity. It’s only getting louder. I find myself wondering on the edge of despair thinking ‘how did I get here?’ I find myself wondering on the edge of despair thinking ‘how did I get here?’ I’m seeing things no one should see, I’m hearing things no one should hear, help me. I’m seeing things no one should see, I’m hearing things no one should hear, help me. I bash my skull into the fucking wall. I bash my skull until I can’t feel at all.
