The Carousel of Inferiority and the Complex I Have (1)
Sitting in my bed but I don't want to sleep
I'll filter my brain and try to not think
I missed the party, but I could see them drunk
I put my blocky headphones on
Everything is a background noise
But my depressing, unwanted voice
In my claustrophobic head
He said: "I wish you were dead"
What's the difference, I already am
No one can hear me but my stupid conscience
My heart's racing but I'm resting in bed
Too many thoughts go through my head
With all these thoughts you'd think I was smart
I'm not, everything is falling apart
And I called her far away:
"Tell one of my friends that I said hey"
I maybe meant it more than likely
That won't make my friends start to like me
And I am always in bed
I don't know what I'm resting, because I feel dead
And I am always awake
I just sit in silence and hope my friends aren't fake
Petrified that I left them behind
Then I remember they were never on time
I would start crying, there's no time for that
I need to lay in my bed more and never laugh
Why do we laugh
Why does nothing seem to match
Like they did
Funny, I'm still a kid
Smiling into the mirror
Reflecting all of my fears
Looking out onto the dance floor
I stay in bed, won't live out my horrors
I'm so lonely, but it is my home
I am so damn crazy
I'm in bed, but that's ok
I'm never asleep anyway
And I am always in bed
I don't know what I'm resting, because I feel dead
And I am always awake
I just sit in silence and hope my friends aren't fake
Petrified that I left them behind
Then I remember they were never on time
I would start crying, there's no time for that
I need to lay in my bed more and never laugh
Why do we laugh
Why does nothing seem to match
