Breaking Rhythm, Losing Self

I sit around and think the same thoughts
And feel the same things
And relive the same nightmares
Day in, day out
Every new moment
Is a reheated memory
Or a new problem
To eternally hash out
In my convoluted mind
And every waking hour
Is one less hour
I have to sleep my life away
To feel my life melt away
Even just for a moment
Before the stress finds its way
To my subconscious again
And if I try to break the cycle
I know where it leads
A brief time spent in syncopated reverie
Before I get back into rhythm
With this monotanous lull

Don't Know

You can't hear me screaming
You don't see me hurting
Don't pretend like you understand
You can't feel
What you don't know

You don't see me suffocating
You don't know I'm bleeding
You are ignorant to my pain
So don't act
Like you really know
