Periodontitis

Battling depression turns into battling periodontitis
And periodontitis turns into avoiding the dentist
And avoiding the dentist turns into closing your eyes in the mirror
Because my reflection turns into everything that I fear

And now my teeth are bleeding
And my gum line is receding
And I don't care
Because as long as I don't look in the mirror
My teeth are still there

And Freud says my cigarette turns into my lust for a cock
But I'm pretty sure it turns into an hour gone from my clock
And watching the clock turns into existential dread
Cause wondering whats left turns into wondering why I'm not dead

And my lungs are dissolving
And my arteries are clogging
And I don't care
Because as long as I don't take my pulse
My heartbeat's still there

And wanting to be alone turns into being lonely
And trying to go out turns into anxiety
And asking for help turns into not knowing what to say
And ignoring it all for one day turns into every fucking day

And now I think I'm drowning
Blood in my ears is pounding
And I can't care
Because when I look in the mirror
I'm met with a vacant stare
