**(Verse 1: Internal Monologue - Fast Paced, Anxious)**
Yo, gotta check it again, did I lock the damn door?
No, wait, was it twice? Maybe three times, for sure!
The numbers are screamin', uneven's a curse
Gotta tap it again, make the sequence reverse!
My mind's a damn hamster wheel, spinnin' out of control
Every thought's a damn threat, takin' its heavy toll.
Germs on the handle, the air, the screen, the floor
Gotta wash 'em all off, then wash 'em once more!
This ain't just quirky, this ain't some funny little trait
This is my damn prison, sealin' my damn fate!
**(Verse 2: External Voice - Slower, Frustrated)**
They tell me "just stop," "it's all in your head, you see!"
Like a damn light switch I can just flick and be free.
They see the rituals, the handwashin' insane
But they don't feel the terror, the damn internal pain!
Tryna live a normal life, but the thoughts are a damn flood
Every simple action, misunderstood, misjudged.
"Why you touchin' that again?" "You did it just now, man!"
Trapped in this damn cycle, part of some twisted plan.
This ain't attention seekin', this ain't a damn game I play
This is my damn struggle, every single damn day!
**(Bridge: Internal Monologue - Whispered, Urgent)**
The what ifs are comin', the doubts start to creep
Did I hurt someone? Is there somethin' buried deep?
Gotta replay the moment, rewind it in my head
'Til the damn anxiety finally leaves me for dead!
The urge is so strong, gotta make it feel just right
This damn imbalance is robbin' me of my damn light!
**(Bridge: External Voice - Raising Tone, Defiant)**
So don't you damn judge me, don't you stare and don't you frown
'Til you walk a mile in these damn shoes in this damn town!
This ain't a choice I made, this ain't a damn trend I chase
This is a damn battle, etched upon my damn face!
**(Outro: Both Voices Overlapping)**
**Internal:** Gotta check... gotta clean... gotta fix... gotta be sure... gotta repeat... gotta resist... gotta fail... gotta try... gotta fear... gotta hide...
**External:** Just try to understand... just try to have some grace... just try to see the pain... just try to give me space... just try to hear my plea... just try to set me free... just try... just try... just try... just try...
