Dysfunction

When there's no indication of your mood's elevation
It just adds to your frustration
You seek the fun in dysfunction
Binge, purge, repeat as needed
That need to feel is like a greed
But how you do it can impede the fun that's in dysfunction
Dependent on sensation, when hurt's exhilaration
Wisdom of self-medication
Leads us not into temptation
I don't need a redeemer
I don't judge by demeanor
Just because your grass looks greener doesn't mean your water's cleaner
What if the fun stops?
Because it will

I Just

I could show you all my scars
And catalogue just what they are
They're little slices of my past
The memories that always last
And sometimes I think, just for fun,
I'd like to add another one
And though I think that that's ok
Nobody looks the other way
I just want to hurt myself
If you could see inside my mind
You'd learn the things I hide behind
And all the things I have to do
Just to simply make it through
The drugs I take, the smiles I fake, the jokes I make
Make no mistake
I say I won't, but talk is cheap when you're this tired but still can't sleep
I just want to hurt myself
Suicidal ideation lurks in my imagination
Even with the medication I can't feel elation
And although I have a wealth of insight to my mental health
It just creeps up with perfect stealth
And makes me want to hurt myself

I don't know what to think about
The way I think I think about
The things I think about
The things I think about are things like
Fear and loathing,
Rage and shame
I don't get anxious, I get scared
Hate how it caught me unprepared
Direct my anger onto me
Ashamed that's all that I can see

Another Statistic

Gotta run, gotta hide, threats are coming from all sides
I'm annoyed, paranoid
All my hopes are null and void
As above, so below, everybody makes a show
"I am not the one to blame, ask anyone, they'll say the same,"
So stop, look, and listen
To the points that you are missing
They won't take the time to learn my name
But they'll take the time to make sure that I feel ashamed
'Cuz I'm another number on a spreadsheet
I'm another bloodstain on a bed sheet
When you see the problem do you see the person too?
Or are they just another statistic to you?
Self help? Self care? Anybody out there?
Everywhere I turn I see what feels like all eyes on me
And they try, through their eyes
To find out why I want to die
They ask about my attitude
But speak to me in platitudes
Now, are you familiar
With the way it feels like life is out to kill you?
When you know that there are more bad days to follow
That's a pretty fucking bitter pill to swallow
I'm another number on a spreadsheet
I'm another bloodstain on a bed sheet
When you see the problem do you see the person too?
Or are they just another statistic to
Or are we just another statistic to
Or am I just another statistic to you?
