Bi-polarity and mentally unstable
I get moments of clarity and speaking of fables
We are singularity and yet we desire labels
To help us believe we belong
To help us believe we are strong
Balancing cold sweats and regrets on this cable
I get little to no rest abreast all these pages
I can barely even see what I believe to be able
So damnation on my heals I will run
And run the risk of flying too close to the sun
So why do I care so much about being alone
I fight my own parents, lovers, teachers, friends
Oh God I come to you broken again
The Father opens his arms
His child has returned to the farm
How many times can I take my inheritance
Down to the pig field and curse my own arrogance
A child of affluence, a child of the dawn
Meet up early at a bar all alone
I called it early, called it cold, called it wrong
Immersed in darkness I am lonely Lord
But I get along with my open wound
So Darling why didn't you stick with me
Cause I couldn't possibly live that long
I had to add divorce to my vocabulary
Because somebody's gotta the black sheep of the family
But mistakes I have made doesn't change their love for me
But what if this one does
And what if I just ain't enough
And what if I don't measure up
How many times can I take my inheritance
Down to the pig field and curse my own arrogance
A child of affluence, a child of the dawn
Meet up early at a bar all alone
I called it early, called it cold, called it wrong
Immersed in darkness I am lonely Lord
At the pit of my soul I hate this open wound
Yet I keep scratching and singing this old tune
"Like a dog eats its vomit, I return to my own"
And bi-polarity is my home
And mentally out of control
And single and sad but I'm not alone
