Frostbite

It’s hard to get out of bed in the morning
To wake and to brush my teeth
It’s hard to stare at my reflection
No one sees what’s underneath

A raging infection
Spreading through my brain
Take the happy pills
To ease my pain

Everyone wakes up and goes to work
My job is focusing on my deepest hurt
Put it together, and tear it apart
The infection lives on my wretched heart

Frostbite
Out of time
Frostbite
Out of time

My body hurts
I’m so tired
The pills should help
Keep my brain Rewired
My skin is numb
My fingers are cold
This forever winter
Is getting old
