Disassociate

Dissociation,

A form of procrastination,

A way to numb all of my senses,

And to pretend like I’m invincible.

(Verse 1)

I like to think,

That I’m just one drink,

Away,

From creating myself a safe space,

To breathe and to slay.

Somewhere to be myself and I just don’t understand why,

I gotta be,

This way.

(Chorus)

They tell me I just can’t take it.

They tell me I am floating away.

They tell me I like to get wasted,

Just to keep my pain at bay.

They say that I’ll be fine,

If I just keep myself in line.

I’ll be okay,

I just need to disassociate.

(Verse 2)

They say it’s not healthy.

It a way that my brain likes to throw,

All of it’s responsibilities,

Away.

But I say,

What the hell.

Let my head cast its spell,

On my body and my brains

Until I’m far away,

From myself.

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge)

My hands are large

My mouth is full.

I’m high up

And you’re downhill.

You can’t reach me

And I’m far away.

Please tell me how I’ll be okay,

Cos I need to disassociate,

I can’t just pass through this pain,

Because my mind takes me away.
