Slipping

deja vu
and I can taste the salt at the back of my throat
from the tears I choked back
determined not to let it happen
again         (slipping)
deja vu has grabbed and shook
and I cant stand the taste and texture of this gray world
anymore
(sslipppinnnggg)
and terror is a real thing I can taste and touch as i slip
please please please leave me alone
I don't want
I haven't had
to go there since i was 12 please
deja vu is not in my mind
i hear the rip of reality
oh god
oh god i won't slip
into the white world again
where i only exist
as a figment of a hurt
that pains you
please please
