Manic confession

From out the blackest depths you've known
The depths of your depression
A light so bright it captivates
And holds your full attention

Finally your mind is free
The world is yours to capture
You cannot eat nor can you sleep
It doesn't seem to matter

Harder faster pushing so
It seems you'll surely break
You're not sure what you're doing
But you know there's much at stake

A million miles an hour goes
Your thoughts into your speech
It matters not how far you run
Your brain gives no relief

People shy away from you
Scared by what's in your eyes
Desperation, mania
A madness in disguise

But what goes up, it must come down
Come screeching to a halt
Every wrong you've ever known
You know it's all your fault

And so the cycle starts anew
It never seems to end
Beholden to your chemistry
It's pointless to pretend

Giving up or giving in
You know it's all the same
The sine wave carries you along
I guess I'll try again
