Se**rsl*de

My head, no, my brain

Buzzes, bubbles, breaks

Shadows of doubt flicker

People I love, places I've never been

I'm selfish

I know

Yet I can't stay

They tell me they would care

I don't know though

My trust is thin

My wall is thick

I'm sure thy would

Right?

Maybe I should just cut my brain out

But I know they will leave

They will give up

Everyone does

If only I could my death look

Because I love them

And they always know

I don't want to hurt them

I don't want to leave them but I have to

They will know

I don't mean to hurt them

I want them to give up

Make it easy

But they won't 

And I'll stay...

For now

Because it works,

They know it works
