Sensory Overload

Back to the tunnel that relit the flame
And taught me the meaning of love, loss, and shame
I’ve been financially crippled by the one thing I love
But no one quite understands, this is all that I have
Something isn’t right
He isn’t breathing
Someone call for help
Someone do something
They say he found out the hard way
Exactly what he was made of
And at the time of my writing
He is still with us
It’s been a Hell of a year
I’ve seen the dissolution of a marriage
The progression of a cancer
And the death of a first love
Six years deep
But I’m still standing
Life hurts, but it could be worse
So just be thankful
That you’re not like them
It gets worse, but you’re better off
The paranoia has me by the neck
What would you do
If you saw me drowning
And what would you do
If I killed myself
At nineteen, I could never imagine
The things that I’ve been able to see
There’s a hope that wakes me up
Because I know that
There is more for me
For me
I won’t stop until I
Completely dissect myself
And disassemble everything
The dissolution of a marriage
The progression of a cancer
The pursuit of an addiction
And the death of a loved one
The dissolution of a marriage
The progression of a cancer
The pursuit of an addiction
And the death of a loved one
What would you do
If you saw me drowning
And what would you do
If I killed myself
At nineteen, I could never imagine
The things that I’ve been able to see
There’s a hope that wakes me up
Because I know that
There is more for me
You have to start over
Have to start over
You have to start over
You have to start over
You have to start over
I’ve been crippled
By the one thing I love
Pouring thousands into dreams
No one knows
So this is my story
If you’re willing to listen
Maybe it sounds a lot like yours
Maybe something resonates
Don’t take this for advice
Just know you’re not alone in this
All pain will end
Sensory overload
