lyrics

I’m up all night
Can’t sleep at all
And every tick of the clock on the wall
Has got me crawling in my skin
Head in a spin

Can’t find the pill
To make it stop
My mind is in adrenaline overdrive
Don’t know if I will make it out alive
Barely holding on to just make it tonight
I wanna go go go go away from it all

If there’s one thing that I know deep inside
It’s that I’m manic bipolar on the edge of a knife
Yeah my eyes are dilated all of the time can’t you see?
You better know the reason why

It’s been a day
It’s been a week
But if I’m honestly honest it’s been several months
Pressure from it all has been adding up

There’s too much stress
i’m gonna blow
There’s a killer trigger that’s been messing me up
And I can feel the break coming on it won't stop
Deconstructing my emotions way too much
Gonna find myself institutionalized

If there’s one thing that I know deep inside
It’s that I’m manic bipolar on the edge of a knife
Yeah my eyes are wide open all of the time can’t you see?
You better know the reason why
