It's Strange. I'm Broken.
It's strange. I'm broken. No longer fixed.
The clock inside me no longer ticks.
My eyes are red near the end of the day.
How and why did I end up this way?
My patience is short, my anger is quick.
I do not think twice before I lose it.
I'm beginning to give up, though I love half my life.
I'm starting to doubt after all this strife.
My mind is now weak, my confidence thin.
I might as well start all over again.
It's hard to smile when I feel others' hate.
And though I do not want it, my reactions shape my fate.
I'm starting to fail. I can't help but give in.
My mind no longer shuts out the everyday din.
It crowds my mind, sending me deeper down.
My mind around noise is now fatefully bound.
I used to be fixed. My music box sang.
I used to tell jokes. My laugh around rang.
It's strange. That girl disappeared so fast.
So take me back, change me back to that girl of the past.
The clock inside me no longer ticks.
My eyes are red near the end of the day.
How and why did I end up this way?
My patience is short, my anger is quick.
I do not think twice before I lose it.
I'm beginning to give up, though I love half my life.
I'm starting to doubt after all this strife.
My mind is now weak, my confidence thin.
I might as well start all over again.
It's hard to smile when I feel others' hate.
And though I do not want it, my reactions shape my fate.
I'm starting to fail. I can't help but give in.
My mind no longer shuts out the everyday din.
It crowds my mind, sending me deeper down.
My mind around noise is now fatefully bound.
I used to be fixed. My music box sang.
I used to tell jokes. My laugh around rang.
It's strange. That girl disappeared so fast.
So take me back, change me back to that girl of the past.
