lyrics

My emotions are real when my reality isn't what's happening
Going the distance against mental illness
will make me a shell of who I am
So I'll go with it and follow the current
and get carried away from what everybody else sees
The world is not against me when I think everyone hates me

My emotions are real they feel real to me
and then I really don't care what anyone else thinks
I'll just keep thinking about all these things
that can't possibly happen
So I'll go with it and follow the current
and run through the tunnel that's killing me
I am not in danger every time I think the walls are closing in

I've been remembering places from dreams a lot
or maybe I've been there in real life I don't actually remember
Seeing people I've never seen before
or maybe I've seen them before
in states that I don't remember

Is it me or you? Is it you or me?
If it's you against me it's over for me
I'll take your fear and put it on my fear
Maybe we can stay safer stay together

But I'm still scared I don't know where I am
I don't know where I am going from here

Protect each other and get some meaning some coherence
What will it signify when it's done if it signifies anything at all
A scream in the night in the other room
You hear me through the wall
