INTRO:

I can't seem to un-bare my teeth.

I can't seem to retract me claws back into me.

I can't seem to soften my eyes.

Why does it always become a fight?

CHORUS:

What's going on with me?

What's wrong with me?

Got bags under my eyes.

I can't seem to speak without it being a fight.

It's really not you. It's really truly me.

What's going on with me?

What's wrong with me?

VERSE 1:

Been diagnosed with BPD.

I can't seem to understand me.

I feel like I can't stop being mean.

Where's my patience, where's my kind?

Where's my love, where's my mind?

Where is my - Empathy?

CHORUS:

What's going on with me?

What's wrong with me?

Got bags under my eyes.

I can't seem to speak without it being a fight.

It's really not you. It's really truly me.

What's going on with me?

What's wrong with me?

VERSE 2:

Been diagnosed with C-PTSD

I can't seem to keep up with me.

I feel like I have to stay awake to stop all the dreams.

Where's my give, where's my service?

Where's my help, where's my courteous?

Where is my - selflessness

CHORUS:

What's going on with me?

What's wrong with me?

Got bags under my eyes.

I can't seem to speak without it being a fight.

It's really not you. It's really truly me.

What's going on with me?

What's wrong with me?

VERSE 3:

Been diagnosed with anxiety.

I can't seem to sit with me.

I feel like I can't breath.

Where's my calm, where's my stay?

Where's my joy, where's my play?

Where is my - brave.

CHORUS:

What's going on with me?

What's wrong with me?

Got bags under my eyes.

I can't seem to speak without it being a fight.

It's really not you. It's really truly me.

What's going on with me?

What's wrong with me
