[Verse 1] Trying to untangle my brain and organize Distractions keep me hypnotized My mind functions in mach speed And I can’t keep up piloting with my body Hyper-focusing in amusing moments Losing it when overwhelmed with expectations [Pre-chorus] They’re just over-opinionated And they’re under-educated [Chorus] It’s not high definition It’s surround sound and chaotic Overstimulated Understimulated More complex than the memes Affecting every part of me Hypersensitivities Hyperactivity [Verse 2] Surges of energy overcome me Unexpectedly, sometimes I just can’t sleep I'm a superhero in my mind But superficially it's not sublime Coiled so tight, difficult to unwind Quietly outshining what's considered bright [Pre-chorus] I don't want all of the labels Just want to become more stable [Chorus] It’s not high definition It’s surround sound and chaotic Overstimulated Understimulated More complex than the memes Affecting every part of me Hypersensitivities Hyperactivity [Bridge] They tell us to organize the disorder But I’m subscribed, and I'll re-order Drugging what you don't want to deal with Start redirecting to productive outlets Be proactive with disabilities Not reactive with lack of understanding [Chorus] It’s not high definition It’s surround sound and chaotic Overstimulated Understimulated More complex than the memes Affecting every part of me Hypersensitivities Hyperactivity

[Verse 1] My fingers refuse to comply So frustrated with my mind My brain feels like it's fried Breaking logical defenses, I Psych myself out awry My psyche is electrified I try to conceal my eyes Impersonating normalized [Pre-chorus] I hate how I am sometimes People try to romanticize It ain't fun, it's uncomfortable Random attacks, unpredictable [Chorus] When I am anxious I can't be still Hidden, my skills Trying not to make a scene When I am anxious I'm too quiet Or too talkative How it presents is depending When I am anxious I'm hyperactive Have to be adaptive And keep compensating When I am anxious Bleeding anxiety [Verse 2] Sparks of jitters internally
Power surge of energy My mind is just running Trying to escape my body You injure easily But you heal quickly You keep teaching me In you I find relief [Pre-chorus] I hate how I am sometimes People try to romanticize It ain't fun, it's uncomfortable Random attacks, unpredictable [Chorus] When I am anxious I can't be still Hidden, my skills Trying not to make a scene When I am anxious I'm too quiet Or too talkative How it presents is depending When I am anxious I'm hyperactive Have to be adaptive And keep compensating When I am anxious Bleeding anxiety [Bridge] Too many posers Ridden with faux hurt Sometimes I feel unwanted I feel like I'm a burden In the state, I’m paranoid Who all have I annoyed? I am just Anxious [Chorus] When I am anxious I can't be still Hidden, my skills Trying not to make a scene When I am anxious I'm too quiet Or too talkative How it presents is depending When I am anxious I'm hyperactive Have to be adaptive And keep compensating When I am anxious Bleeding anxiety

[Verse 1] I am introverted I need the time alone To be observant My personality has no home Overwhelmed, hide my eyes Decreased social performance In my head, I just lie I’m my own worst critic [Pre-chorus] I don't fit anywhere Yet I fit everywhere The acid, and I’m Also the alkaline [Chorus] I am ambiverted Shapeshifting in situations Impartial and unbiased To fathom me is confusion I'm a saint and a heathen Depends which radical you're asking Transforming to fit conditions I am ambiverted [Verse 2] I am extraverted On a high in the crowd Completely converted Sometimes I just get too loud Confidence in my skills I've got it under control Outgoing without pills Diverting awkwardness with jokes [Pre-chorus] I don't fit anywhere Yet I fit everywhere The acid, and I’m Also the alkaline [Chorus] I am ambiverted Shapeshifting in situations Impartial and unbiased To fathom me is confusion I'm a saint and a heathen Depends which radical you're asking Transforming to fit conditions I am ambiverted [Bridge] Tabs on peers I don't know Do you think I'm a serial killer? I keep a balanced ratio Jack of all trades, I’m no master They tell me initially They’ll soften my exterior But they don't yet know me They’ll regret that desire But it's all for my protection Staying steps ahead So don't mind my questions Preparation is my method [Chorus] I am ambiverted Shapeshifting in situations Impartial and unbiased To fathom me is confusion I'm a saint and a heathen Depends which radical you're asking Transforming to fit conditions I am ambiverted I am ambiverted Shapeshifting in situations Impartial and unbiased To fathom me is confusion I'm a saint and a heathen Depends which radical you're asking Transforming to fit conditions I am ambiverted

[Verse 1] I wink when others wince May be just self-defense I've smiled in the face of horror Do I care if I'm in danger? Sometimes I worry about myself Dissociation, I need help Wrong expressions show Rather than match emotions I undergo [Pre-chorus] Sometimes I just [Chorus] Laugh at the misfortune Laugh as a coping mechanism I know it's a schism That's just my warped emotions (Haha) Laugh when times are inappropriate Laugh to withstand tough moments, but I don't have ill intentions Understand, it's how I function (Haha) [Verse 2] People get too serious Humor can be like a drug Prescribed or overdosed My dark humor is exposed Jokes packaged indistinctly People don't know how to take me The best medicine often ignored If kept quiet, I'd be bored [Pre-chorus] Sometimes I just [Chorus] Laugh at the misfortune Laugh as a coping mechanism I know it's a schism That's just my warped emotions (Haha) Laugh when times are inappropriate Laugh to withstand tough moments, but I don't have ill intentions Understand, it's how I function (Haha) [Bridge] Haha haha haha haha Haha haha haha haha Haha haha haha haha Haha haha haha haha Sometimes I just [Chorus] Laugh at the misfortune Laugh as a coping mechanism I know it's a schism That's just my warped emotions (Haha) Laugh when times are inappropriate Laugh to withstand tough moments, but I don't have ill intentions Understand, it's how I function (Haha) [Outro] Haha haha haha haha Haha haha haha haha Haha haha haha haha Haha haha haha haha

[Verse 1] I feel very deeply I'm sick of the norm You may think I'm sensitive I say it's intelligence A missing link in society People seethe and swarm Compassion has faded People have become so jaded [Pre-chorus] Deficient in empathy Insufficient sympathy [Chorus] I mirror emotions I see Simulating them in my psyche Emulating their experiences So I can better understand Empath empath empath Empath empath empath [Verse 2] I can feel your feelings I sense that you’re worn It’s difficult to be in existence When abhorrence is persistent I try to fill all the needs When somebody is scorned All I want to do is fix And become the offended’s defense [Pre-chorus] Deficient in empathy Insufficient sympathy [Chorus] I mirror emotions I see Simulating them in my psyche Emulating their experiences So I can better understand Empath empath empath Empath empath empath [Bridge] If you allow me to be your therapist Utilizing social skills for the diagnosis Replicating somebody else's emotions It seeps in my mind like it's osmosis Why do creatures hurt creatures? Why do people hurt people? Why is there evil in this world? Why do those we love expire? [Chorus] I mirror emotions I see Simulating them in my psyche Emulating their experiences So I can better understand Empath empath empath Empath empath empath I absorb some of their grief Shifting my emotions for relief Claiming some of the humiliation Whenever their shame is active Empath empath empath Empath empath empath Empath empath empath Empath empath empath

[Verse 1] I am an actor, self proclaimed Many factors, my brain’s inflamed Here I am, vulnerable Pretending I’m honorable I’ve got vices in my mind Give advice I leave behind Acknowledging things people ignore I’m attempting to heal my core Then they expect more Dysphoria starts a war It takes aim To defame [Pre-chorus] I'm just trying to keep my sanity By lying to myself and humanity [Chorus] Acting like I am okay Hiding behind a masquerade Keeping the conversation vague Compensating for the dismay Acting, I’m acting In these depressive episodes Acting, I’m acting So you’ll never know [Verse 2] An actor with no awards ‘cause Nobody knows my mind’s like a cinema I have a method to my actions Questioning ethics with distractions Faking to everybody around I deceive myself Is my mental state sound? I need help I’m playing the role Becoming the part I feel the woe Will it depart? [Pre-chorus] I'm just trying to keep my sanity By lying to myself and humanity [Chorus] Acting like I am okay Hiding behind a masquerade Keeping the conversation vague Compensating for the dismay Acting, I’m acting In these depressive episodes Acting, I’m acting So you’ll never know [Bridge] I apologize for when I'm hyperactive I apologize for when I seem manic I apologize for when I'm depressive I do realize through my reenactments I apologize for all my phases I apologize, I'm comprehending mazes I am continuously fixing It’s difficult to keep acting [Chorus] Acting like I am okay Hiding behind a masquerade Keeping the conversation vague Compensating for the dismay Acting, I’m acting In these depressive episodes Acting, I’m acting So you’ll never know

Somnolent Syndromes (Lethargy) 04:00
lyrics

[Verse 1] I don’t ever want to go to sleep In fear that my mind will bleed Knights riding mares awaken me In the night, I’m scared when I think The sorrow intensifies As the night draws nigh [Pre-chorus] Symptoms are augmented My mentation is tormented [Chorus] My mind’s an asylum harboring thoughts It wards off sleep, forcing me to think Can’t get comfortable, so restless Somnolent syndromes, I feel alone Sleep ambulation obeying my dreams Or shivers of angst like neural screams Lethargy, weary yet cannot find rest Am I lucid in this land of unconsciousness? [Verse 2] After mourning disrupts my sleep And the morning comes for me It’s time to get back up on my feet And endure the drowsy feelings Daylight disturbs my eyes I’m not yet ready to arise [Pre-chorus] Symptoms are augmented My mentation is tormented [Chorus] Tired notions turn my sulci into knots My eyes shifting shadows into psychos Heavy breath just like a tempest Somnolent syndromes, my stomach forbodes Sleep ambulation obeying my dreams Or shivers of angst like neural screams Lethargy, weary yet cannot find rest Am I lucid in this land of unconsciousness? [Bridge] You visited me In my dreams But I knew you could not stay It was nice to see though My eyes were closed And I’d soon be awake Until I’m paralyzed With a conscious mind And sealed eyes Bed-bound and tied Somnolent syndromes Lethargy to follow Now you’re a ghost Honored as an ode [Chorus] Having dreams become reality Often does scare me, it’s petrifying Visions in dreams, forgot to study my sleep Somnolent syndromes I didn’t outgrow Sleep conversations, obeying my dreams These bouts of shame from the scenes Lethargy, weary yet cannot find rest Am I lucid in this land of unconsciousness?
