Fractured Minds
Fractured Minds: A Symphony of Internal Struggles
Lyrics
A state of mind, mine is most unkind
A mental state, mine is particularly harsh
Another here is sharing my space
Someone else shares the same physical space as me
Locked within this same human skin
Trapped within the confines of this shared human body
Another voice is sharing my throat
Another voice also uses my vocal cords
We are here stuck inside this head
We exist here, confined within this singular mind
Taking turns wondering who is real
Alternating, pondering who among us is real
This is not a future or a life
This is not a promising future or a fulfilling life
Another day don't tell me it's a page
Another day, don't insist it's just another page
When everyday the book is not the same
Each day, the experiences are not consistent
My life a series of snapshots
My life is a sequence of disconnected moments
But never once is the order the same
The order of events never repeats
One voice here inside my head
One voice within my mind
How long will it be the same
How long will this internal dialogue persist
Another lie made unto myself
I deceive myself with another falsehood
Play the game according to whose rules?
Playing life, but whose rules determine the game?
Tell me you'll relieve me of my sins
Plead to absolve me of my wrongdoings
And leave me whole but not the same
Grant me completeness, but not in the same state
Taking one chosen from the rest
Selecting one from the many
Tell me how does he pass your test
Explain how he surpasses your criteria
Fractured minds, relieve me of their pain
Minds are shattered, free us from this suffering
What am I, don't leave us for the dead
What am I, don't abandon us for the deceased
A state of mind I have more of these
A mental state, I have more of these
Don't say that I'm just a disease
Don't claim I'm merely a disease
