Dysphoria? More Like Dysphoritis

(spoken) sometimes, when we're down, we take the world down with us.

and when we're dysphoric we take ourselves down with us.

crashing and burning in a wave of "I wish" and "I can't"

No longer are we a wave of ourselves, but instead a swirling pit of agony crashing into the reality of our own world. Of our reality.

Even after we've became our best selves, there are still times dysphoria claws us back into the deep.

And it's painful.

(verse 1) the party is over but i'm still here

floating empty in the atmosphere

bottles and blankets emptied into my skull

forcing the lightswitch off

always thinking I"m the boss

"lovesick" and "torn boy" written on my veins

(chorus) i need some novacaine in this head of mine

because i'm awake way past nine

I can't stay at parties like this

cause soon my hands will turn to fists and i'm

throwing punches left and right

a stupid, torn boy

up all night

angry at the world that keeps him sad.

(verse 2) the fun time is over but i'm still here

reminiscing about my fears

clearing the beer and bad thoughts from my head

nobody knows why i'm so lost

maybe it's the pocketwatch

telling me i'm a second closer to death

(chorus) i need some novacaine in this head of mine

because i'm awake way past five

I can't stay in my head like this

cause soon my hands will turn to fists and i'm

throwing punches left and right

a stupid, torn boy

up all night

angry at the world that keeps him sad.

(bridge: pluck chords) stupid, torn boy

yeah, that's right

a stupid torn boy, up all night

wishing he didn't look so much like a girl....

pretty, torn boy

stay awake

don't think about it, you'll be okay

you pass to yourself and that's enough for me

(chorus) i need some novacaine in this head of mine

because i'm awake way past nine

I can't keep draining myself like this

cause soon my hands will turn to fists and i'm

throwing punches left and right

a stupid, torn boy

up all night

getting better in the world that makes him sad.
