[English]

texts left on read as my irises turn  red dark circles underneath my eyes.  

Full of dread being said is a virus that  I spread. All the hurdles that I jump to  

high. I do it to myself. I refuse to get help.  Secretly find comfort in the dark. I do it to  

myself. I refuse to get help. Now I trip ouch  that's gonna leave a mark. All my friends,  

they wonder where I've been. Blink my eyes guess I  disappeared again. The concept of time slipped my  

mind and now I'm spiralling oh why  does my brain have such tangled wiring.

I'm a joke don't approach it's a slippery  slope, but another week goes by as we speak.  

Like a ghost diagnosed Turn it off to stay  afloat. How does this keep happening to me? I  

do it to myself. I refuse to get help. Now I trip  ouch that's gonna leave a mark. All my friends,  

they wonder where I've been. Blink my eyes  guess I disappeared again. The concept of  

time slipped my mind and now I'm spiralling  oh why does my brain have such tangled wiring.

Static static it goes automatic  attacking me attached to me I'm  

bound panic panic I know it's pathetic distracting  

me detaching me. tangled wiring tangled  wiring. tangled wiring. tangled wiring.

All my friends,  

they wonder where I've been. Blink my eyes guess I  disappeared again. The concept of time slipped my  

mind and now I'm spiralling oh why  does my brain have such tangled wiring.

The concept of time slipped my  mind and now I'm spiralling oh  

why does my brain have such tangled wiring.
