Tell me what to do, boy;
my nail polish is chipped off
and I know I am not perfect.

Tell me what to do, please –
it's hard to swallow
and I cannot breathe
because you're out there somewhere in the world.

(Where the hell does someone like you come from?)

My lips are bitten
and my heart is sore.

People say that strong emotion is good
that it means you're alive and sensitive
that it's better than the numbing lethargy
of depression.
And it's true, I've never felt this present
on this blue-and-green marble world of ours.

But oh god, I cannot take it any more.

My shoulders are thin and I am pale and sick
and I do not know if I can survive
any more of this feeling.

Tell me what to do.

Please.
