Seat 09 Lyrics by Carson Shmyr

Requiem

2021

Well, here I am again
On the bathroom floor
What a surprise
I guess it's painful to imagine
That I'm not the main character
In this book that I contrived
While I was staring at the mirror
Is it insanity or is it genius to sink into my thoughts?
And to let a half empty bottle decide whether or not
I'm worth it
And yet
If I had a choice then I would stop
But I can't find the switch to turn my emotions off
So I will sink in deep and let this current drag me under
Because it's much harder to drown than it is to be encumbered
Now I know what they'll say
About he man inside the mirror
How he was good, and gold, and the product of his postulations and fears
But what they don't see is the crack that's creeping up from the corner
Suddenly it's got a name and I'm stuck here on doctor's orders
And I just think it's funny
No, I just think it's sad
The idea of being average
When I'm the only one who's mad
So you've got me
In this chair, now what?
I'm a statistic?
What comes next?
If we go the way that you see it?
I'll take the pills and throw them out the window
Is that a solution?
Or is it a trial run of giving up and seeing if I can do it?
Because I can't
I need the drugs so I can function
But then I lose myself amidst the drums of daily consumption
How can we get off the train if it never leaves at the station?
Because a passenger in seat O-Nine was acting drunk and brazen
No way that's just my brain and it's been flirting with the line between psychotic and methodic
I can't seem to find the correct combination of S.S.R.I's to ease the burden that's been burning on my mind
And I just think it's funny
No, I just think it's sad
The idea of being average
When I'm the only one who's mad
When I take a step back and realize what I've created
The bed I've wove of pain and torment that I must lay in
I have this awful feeling that subsides with medication
But when I lose the hurt, I lose the love for my creations
Well I speak in tongue, my words are written into phrases
And there's no hiding from the message that my writing's saying
Even a line left blank shows meaning in it's empty spaces
Somehow through all this time I've become the patient
And I don't think it's funny
I don't think at all
I'm just the empty spaces
In perpetual free fall
