Confusion in Repeat by Melodie Yvonne

I don’t know how I feel anymore
About this world we live in
I don’t know what to do most days
But I am not going to give in
Still most times I’ve lost hope
All locked up in this mental prison
It’d take dynamite with diamond studded shrapnel just to get in

Now don’t misunderstand me
I’m not lost or feeling coy
I’m not just playing games
Or merely trying to annoy
I’ve used my own volition
And I’ve made my empty choices
So I’ll not be flustered by this constant cackling of voices

I don’t know how I feel maybe
But at least I’m feeling something
I’d rather be a little mess
Than blindly feeling nothin’
But some days I’m so tired
And I don’t know just what to do
There’s some days it takes a lot more than myself to see me through

You see I don’t know how I feel anymore
About this world we live in
I don’t know what to do most days
But I am not going to give in
Still most times I’ve lost hope
All locked up in this mental prison
It’d take dynamite with diamond studded shrapnel just to get in

Yeah, it’d take dynamite with diamond studded shrapnel just to get in
