My life’s scrambled
My mind screams
My heart aches
My soul cries
How do I rewind
How do I unwind
How do I fast forward
How do I pause
How do I sit still
How do I sleep
When does it stop
Where does it begin
How do I forget this
How do I erase this
Life’s ying and yang
Tearing me apart
Break me
Forget me
Erase me
Help me
Save me
Kill me
