Counterfeit

I never learned to read
Between the lines I always seem
To find a way
To bear a need
To shake responsibility
Like a dog tied to a tree
My conscience just can't take the heat
I rarely use that imagery
I guess I'm getting bleaker by the
Week by week
I sleep and sleep
To avoid any connection I might have had with reality
It's 4:03
I'm counting sheep
As I drink caffeine
And I can't believe that I'm

I'm fucking up again
Stuck inside a rut again
Take a pill and I'll pretend
My mental illness has an end
I learn to live with it
My life's a counterfeit
Made up of shared experience
That I never want to end

Your smile is a reason to celebrate
I stockpile every photo I have to date
You're worthwhile and every move I make
Goes beyond a tactile understanding of your every state

Speculate
Communicate
We can ruminate, or syncopate
We can gear up at the starting gate
And take on the world, or just suffocate

I'm fucking up again
Stuck inside a rut again
Take a pill and I'll pretend
My mental illness has an end
I learn to live with it
My life's a counterfeit
Made up of shared experience
That I never want to end
