Manic

I watched you sit on your own
Watched you cry your eyes out
Now tell me what's going on?
It's really so horrible
That I would shut you out and leave you here alone?
Yes I heard what you said
I was right there standing
But I won't let you drown in your tears
No, I forgive you

So sick
Manic
Words haunting
Your every move
So sick
Of being manic
No one understands
What you can only scream

I've watched over you forever
Been your safety pillar
I've never turned away
What is wrong, suddenly you think I am gone
Tell me why are you afraid?
You tell me when you need
And I hear when you scream
To get grace I know you need
Just a little more freedom

So sick
Manic
Words haunting
Your every move
So sick
Of being manic
No one understands
What you can only scream

You can decide
Whether you want to be put on a shelf
Like the rest of humanity.
Just because you're different
Than everyone else
Does not mean you're a freak

You're so sick
Of being manic
And having people's eyes follow your every move
You scream it…when you can't speak yet
And they just don’t get
Why you have to
