Somnolence

I decided to try this little experiment

but the only guinea pig I had was me

I'm excited to say that it's working

and it's taken all my feelings from me

I said "do you really think I need those?"

"Son, from the look in your eyes to to the scars on your arms, I do."

Well, maybe I shouldn't have told you

"but you did and this is where it got you."

so I thought, why no

there's nothing wrong with me

now I know, now I see

everything I ever did was a lie

every breath I ever took 

meant nothing in anyone's eyes

I'm pretty sure, I just lost my soul

can you see me in the mirror?

because I'd like to know that I'm still here

I don't believe you, I don't believe me

I don't believe in you, I don't believe in you anymore

I said "do you really think I need those?"

"Son, from the smell on your breath to to the blood in your lungs, I do."

"Well, maybe I shouldn't have told you"

"but you did and this is where it got you."

I should have asked if they'd take away my soul

because now I'm sure they do

are you real? is this even happening?

My eyes are open but I just can't see you

You're either too bright or I'm too messed up

I should have asked if they'd take away my soul

because now I'm sure they do
