We Are Not Ourselves

Sleeplessly I will think of
Stories with no beginning or end
Make countless pointless observations
On the ratio of sheep to their friends

I am not myself
We are not ourselves

Restlessly I’ll recollect all
Of the vulgar different ways you can swear
And think of all the different people
Who I’d like to see get pushed down the stairs

I am not myself
We are not ourselves

I’ve been tossing turning in my bed
For what seems like so long
The minutes ticking on the clock
They go on
All the voices talking in my mind
Tell me I’m not crazy
Be quiet
Just go to sleep

I am not myself
We are not ourselves

Easelessly I will remember
All the reasons why my life is not fair
And how I don’t have any friends
Or anyone who in the slightest bit cares

I am not myself
We are not ourselves

Broken records spinning in a loop
For what seems like so long
Scratch louder every time they turn
And go on

All the voices talking in my mind
Tell me I’m not crazy
Be quiet!
Just go to sleep
To sleep to sleep

I am not myself
We are not our we are not ourselves
We are not ourselves
