Papercuts

[Verse]
I have a lot of things I take at night to keep my brain alive
Or at least to not feel like I've died
I can't function though I feel alright
This all is just life as I'm used to
Those plans tire me out so I fell through
I'd be a burden so I went and withdrew
Spending more time alone under this full moon

[Chorus]
I have friends in life that insist that I'm fine
Nurse my papercuts and sit with me as I cry
But my brain gets scared and poisons my mind
Saying "it's only a matter of time before i'm left behind"
I don't want to be afraid of you
I know that you love me and are telling me the truth
Even still, if I bleed out and die
With these thousand papercuts
Will you be by my side?

[Verse]
Another bruise and I don't know where it came from
A cut or two, only notice when the blood runs
Light head, I'm tired, but I got my nine hours
(Another bruise and I don't know where it came from)
The doctors don't know what's wrong with me
Every single little test comes back as healthy
Can't run that fast, hey, wait up please!
I try to keep up even when I bleed
