lyrics

Error, Error System Error we have found a bug
All these vicious, twisted tics are sucking at my blood
Inside I am resisting terror, Fight it with the drugs
But pill after pill and it just still isn’t enough

My muscles keep on tensing and flexing, my body shakes
The pain is unrelenting, please end it in any way
My limbs tense up, till I’m fully locked up, but I don’t get no rec brake
And I’m just wishing I was twitching so hard I could let my neck brake

So sorry to bitch, but I can’t even pick shit
up or lift a cup to my lips and take
sips while my arms twitch like an epileptic
fit or getting licked in the clit

Whenever I talk, my coughs might stop
For a bit, but then they hit and everyone thinks I’m sick
Or that I have a habit, breathing smoke into my lungs. But really
what I have is a fucked up nervous
system.



And now it’s gotten worse
I cannot rehearse my songs, each verse takes
Too long to begin, I take a breath in and I try to sing
But grunts and my twitching tongue are the only thing

That get done, it overpowers everything
I’m just trying to live my life, I’m dying, but I say I’m fine
It’s difficult to eat, it’s difficult to breathe
When my mouth is already busy doing other things

And typically, I’m troubled trying to speak
I just wanna hold a conversation with my friends, I’m feeling tired and weak
A brief conversation takes me twenty fucking minutes
And I’m stuck right in it, Let me finish!

I can’t function without my medication
Last week I ran out while I was on vacation
And the frantic stress sure as hell didn’t help the twitching
My life is a time bomb, it never stops ticking till its time is up
