I can see you beside me In my peripheral vision Always right there Always aware Of this manic depressive condition There’s a fever burning up in me I’m tangled up inside a sinking feeling Slipping out of touch with the controls It’s all intrapersonal
Lay my head down Try and sleep now Can’t slow down my mind Close my eyes, try to find A train of thought I can hop Out of the mess I grew in my head Afraid I won’t know how to stop
And I want to know And I want to know And I want to know Native delirium Are you a daughter of This new insomnia
My hypochondria Wilt me just past the bloom Pull up my deepest roots A graceful poison like A wave of vile blight There’s a fever burning up in me I’m tangled up inside a sinking feeling Slipping out of touch with the controls It’s all intrapersonal
