I stole all these words from lyrics written by The Neighbourhood.

When I wake up, I'm afraid somebody else might take my place.
And I can't even see if it's all there anymore.
You're too mean. I don't like you. Fuck you anyway.
Being me and only me, feeling scared to breathe.
If you leave me then I'll be afraid of everything.
That makes me anxious, gives me patience, calms me down.
I told you I would tell you everything you want to know.
I go through all the trouble of keeping it within my walls. I try to be as subtle as I can.
The more I want in, the less I know. But I forgot I'll be alone with everybody watching me.
When I'm on, I believe you. When I'm not, my knees don't even seem to feel.
I was scared as fuck and out of touch, and I was still testing my luck.
Maybe you're right, and this is all that I can be. But what if it's you, and it wasn't me?
Tonight's a go. She's got that look in her eyes; kaleidoscope, but that's only half the time.
She's crazy, though, I guess there's something wrong inside.
I'm fucked in the head, and my mind is turning into a whore.
I fell in love today. There aren't any words you could say that could ever get my mind to change.
Don't tell them anything, please. We're gonna die...
How can I sleep if I don't have dreams? I just have nightmares. How can it be?
I still believe something is out there.
All I'll ever be is partly settled in.
Don't ever resent a letter inside a single word written.
And when they said that what I wanted was a figment I had to turn the other cheek.
But I was listening. Yeah, I was listening.
When I wake up I'm afraid somebody else might end up being me.
