​​every ounce of energy.
[Verse 1]
I haven't slept for twenty-four hours
And I won't sleep for twenty-four more
I can't eat, I can't even shower
I can't seem to get up from the floor

[Verse 2]
Just how long do you think I can stay here?
Just how long do you think I can lie?
I'll smile and wave, and say that I'm safe here
But sooner or later
I know that here is where I'll die
Stuck inside my own mind

[Verse 3]
I haven't wept since I don't even know when
I haven't smiled sincere in a while
I haven't meant a word that I've spoken
I'm not heaven-sent
I'm evil and vile

[Chorus]
I haven't cried, and I don't know why
There's plenty to cry about
I'm stuck at a roundabout
[Verse 4]
Give me a reason to even keep up my breathing
I'm feeling hopeless and worthless
Becoming numb so it hurts less
Oh please just give me a reason to make it to the next season
I feel compressed, undynamic
Just verging on manic

[Bridge]
It's taking every ounce of energy to not panic

[Chorus]
I haven't cried, and I don't know why
There's plenty to cry about
I'm stuck at a roundabout
I've bargained and lied and forsaken my pride
And now the noose is tied
I'm losing my will to fight

[Verse 5]
But perhaps these winds could wash out my sins
And give me something to smile about
Like a child on a merry-go-round
Substituting a smile for a frown

[Outro]
And maybe, in time I'll consolidate my mind
And see there's plenty of joy to find
The truth that's beneath the lie
That one day, I truly will be fine
