Repeat from Glass Bridges by Melissa Rorech

Wake up with a start
from a wonderful dream
where everything was how it used to be,
until reality hits me in the face.
Another dreary day of meaninglessness.
I wonder if i can ever cure this
disease they say i'll have for a while.
But don’t be scared i’m not contagious,
unless you think sad thoughts are infectious.
My will to live is gone but that’s okay.

Cause I will try again today.
And I fight my mind for another day.
There’s nothing safe inside my head,
Except the repetitive.

Eat, sleep, dream, and repeat.
If I can do some more thats pretty neat.
Eat, sleep, dream and repeat.
Try to ignore the thoughts.

Go about my day like everything is normal
while i’m writing thoughts down this secret journal
to save for when i can scream them all out loud.
You would think i’d be used to feeling like this
but after a year, i’m starting to dismiss
all hope that i’ll go back to who i used to be.
But that won’t stop me.

Cause I will try again today.
And I will fight my mind for another day.
There’s nothing safe inside my head,
Except the repetitive.

Eat, sleep, dream, and repeat
If i can do some more that’s pretty neat.
Eat sleep dream and repeat
Try to ignore the thoughts-
-that creep inside
and try to destroy your mind
They’ll tell you secrets about yourself,
that will make you feel like hell.
You can’t run away
and you can’t even hide.
They know all your fears,
and they know all your lies.
They can tell when you’re relaxed
and will come when you think you’re fine.
But you know you’re never fine.

But I will try again today.
And I will fight my mind for another day.
There’s nothing safe inside my head,
Except the repetitive.
Cause I will try again today.
And I will fight my mind for another day.
There’s nothing safe inside my head,
Except the repetitive.

Eat sleep dream and repeat
If I can do some more that’s pretty neat
Eat sleep dream and repeat
until my final breath.
