Jittery

My walls are up too high /

faulty defense mechanisims, like the button's jammed / lungs refuse to open /

they won't release, i feel like i could cry /

and i'm so jittery and scared i think i'll die /

it's 10:22 and i'm still awake /

watching the clock go forward, forward /

backed into a corner / i wanna hit the breaks / please drop the game /

i'll try and stay / please forgive me if i leave /

healing animal, that's what i am / fight or flight, i wanna flee / big brown eyes that cannot hide and tiny legs that break to carry me / healing animal, that's what i be /
