Trojan Horses (ft. Hatsune Miku)

This song is about my struggle with mental illness. Anxiety, depression, eating disorder, all that jazz. As difficult as the lyrical content of this song is, it was surprisingly easy to write.

Lyrics

Lying in my bed
Trojan horses running through my head
And they won't stop

Try to get 'em under control
But they just wanna rock and roll
And they won't stop
No they just won't stop

Is this an endless uphill climb?
Am I wasting all my time?
Is this the right path or will I end up somewhere else?
Has common sense been overthrown
By illogical fear of the unknown?
I'm tired and makes me wanna yell

They got a hold of me
They got control of me
They got my patience wearing thin
Dressed in logic to impress
But I'm stressed and calling SOS
I can't let these Trojan horses win

Can't look ahead
Trojan horses got me seeing red
And they won't stop

I'm hanging by a thread
I wonder if I'll end up dead
But they won't stop
No they just won't stop

Can I soundproof my mental path
Or is all that's left the aftermath
Of a silent war nobody else can truly hear?
There is no threat, but I'm still hurt
My brain remains on high alert
My will the invader's souvenir

They got a hold of me
They got control of me
They got my patience wearing thin
Dressed in logic to impress
But I'm stressed and calling SOS
I can't let these Trojan horses win

Give up, go away
The truth is hidden by what you say
I won't be unsuspecting prey again
Give up, go away
The truth is hidden by what you say
I'll never let you have your way again

They got a hold of me
They got control of me
They got my patience wearing thin
Dressed in logic to impress
But I'm stressed and calling SOS
I can't let these Trojan horses win

They got a hold of me
They got control of me
They got my patience wearing thin
Dressed in logic to impress
But I'm stressed and calling SOS
I can't let these Trojan horses win
