Lyrics

My mental stability reaches it's bitter end
And all my senses are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease		(Verse 1)
Someone called love
Not as long as there are girls like you

Everything she does questions my mental health
Makes me lose control, I wanna hurt myself
If anyone can hear me, slap some sense in here
But you turn your head				(Chorus 1)
And I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I lose my head
Or I bang it up against the wall

Sometiems I wonder if I should be left alone
Lock myself up in a padded room			(Verse 2)
I sit and spew my guts out to the open air
Cuz no one wants to hear a drunken fool

Everything she does questions my mental health
Makes me lose control, I just can't trust myself
If anyone can hear me, slap some sense in here
But you turn your head				(Chorus 2)
And I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I lose my head
Or I bang it up against the wall

I do not mind if this goes on
Cuz now it seems I'm too far gone		(Bridge)
I must admit that I enjoy myself
80 please keep taking me away

(Chorus 2)
