Keep holding on
When my brains tickin' like a bomb
Guess the black thoughts have come again to get me
Sweet bitter words
Unlike nothing I have heard
Sing along Mocking bird
You don't affect me

That's right!
Deliver it to my heart!
Please strike!
Be deliberate

Wait
I'm coming undone
Irate
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate

Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate

Choke, choke again
I thought my demons were my friends
Pity me in the end
They're out to get me
Since I was young
I tasted sorrow on my tongue
And this sweet chocolate gun does not protect me

That's right!
Trigger between my eyes
Please strike!
Make it quick now!

Wait
I'm coming undone
I'm irate
I'm coming undone
Too late
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate

Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate

I'm trying to hold it together
Head is lighter than a feather
Looks like I'm not getting better
Not getting better

Wait
I'm coming undone irate
I'm coming undone too late
I'm coming undone
Wait
I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
