~Delirium~
That one shot of proving yourself
Gone
That one shot of making it big
Gone
That one time that you were sure to win
Disappears
How would you feel
If your one shot was gone
If all of your hopes and dreams
Just went down the drain
How would you feel
If your life started to crumble
If your perception started to deteriorate
If your mind starts to become warped
Soon you are desperate and crazy
Crazy for that one shot to be yours again
Desperate for that big break
Insane for perfection
You work yourself to the bone
Practicing, perfecting, and dancing
The perfect part comes along
And you don't get it
How would you feel
If you became obsessed
Obsessed with being perfect
Obsessed with being the best
Just plain obsessed
How would you feel
If you started to see things
Things that would wake you up in the middle of the night
Another you passing by in the street
Versions of yourself in the mirror, glaring
How would you feel
If you were slipping away
Falling out of touch with reality
Losing everything
You might not even think anything of it
You might not realize
That you are slowly starting to lose your mind
Is everything you see true
Is it all real or just pretend?
When you're going crazy like me
Can you really tell?
