Decisions
I buy things I don’t need
Stuff it in closets I don’t use
Because when distressing thoughts invade
And I can’t breathe
I feel like I have nothing to lose
And I make decisions that I often regret
Seeking a distracting endorphin high
And I hide the results of the decisions I make
Allowing me to always get by
In a world where I wonder if something’s off
And I can’t seem to put my finger on it
So I swallow my unease
And I push through
And live by doing things I shouldn’t do
And I’m always looking ceaselessly to find
Things to quiet my uneasy mind
As I tunnel out trying to understand me
Questioning the nature of reality
Trapped in this simulation trying to break free
