After dinner is the time I get that little box It is hidden in the closet Covered by old socks “Only one” is what I say But then I don’t listen to While inside I know it’s starting What I’m used to Here comes the cycle of the three It’s almost quite as old as me It’s the routine that’s keeping me In between The cycle for my mental health (Mental health) Helps to turn off the noise around The cycle for my mental health (Mental health) When the voices get too loud (Take a drop of liquid calm) (Then a sip of liquid charm) (And a hit of powder dreams) The cycle for my mental health (Though…?) Is it health? First kitchen table, then outside Then to the couch to hide inside Then to the kitchen, make one more The cycle that I once adored I count the steps I know the cost Still reaching for What I’ve lost I trace the steps like yesterday One by one, they lead me back I swear I’m trying to find a door Where I don’t need that box no more The cycle for my mental health (Mental health) Helps to turn off the noise around The cycle for my mental health (Mental health) When the voices get too loud (Take a drop of liquid calm) (Then a sip of liquid charm) (And a hit of powder dreams) But is that cycle for my health Is it health? A little pause A little breath A little space Between the steps A cycle for my mental health (Mental health) For the noises in my head when it comes to my mental health (Mental health) I can see it, and it’s bad (Take a drop of liquid calm) (Then a sip of liquid charm) (And a hit of powder dreams) That cycle for my mental health (Mental health) keeps me here
