carousel from Almost Nothing by Cath Read

Have you ever been trapped in yourself
A buzzing prism of hell
It’s deja vu, it’s a familiar smell
It’s a lie, it’s a shit carousel

I go to therapy every week
Was told it’d help to sit still and speak but I
Can’t stop moving these two goddamn feet
I guess I just can’t handle the heat

Scared to love you
Scared to leave you
Scared you’ll finally find your way out

I hear a familiar tone
My hand goes to your phone
Don’t go, don’t leave me alone, I think I
Know your mind but I don’t know my own

I’ve been biting my nails till they bleed
Before I was even a teen
I’ve been nice, I’ve been keeping it clean
Before you fucked your ex in my dreams

Scared to love you
Scared to leave you
Scared you’ll finally find your way out
