You Don’t Exist

Lying here,
Silent tears.
Wrap my hand around my mouth to cover my screams.
Antagonized,
You’re shifting gears,
Flowing inside my head like a river stream.

Your force is strong,
Like a boxing ring,
The way you tear beads by their strings.
But I am wild,
Like a flower field.
I feel I can do anything.

I’ve caught you once,
I’ll catch you again.
Escape this world you live in.
You can’t take me.
Oh, you can’t take me.

I’m always so wrong,
But I’m right about one thing,
You don’t exist,
You don’t exist.

I shouldn’t be frightened,
Don’t need to be enlightened.
‘Cause you don’t exist.
You don’t exist,
You don’t exist.

Just because, 
I am a lot like you,
These symptoms soon will fade away.
No more headaches,
No, I’m not doomed.
It’s not dark in my park, I’ve got a soft place to lay.

I feel sick right now,
But I’ll get up somehow.
And you’ll learn someday,
That we’re all warriors in every way.
Go away...

You do not exist,
You do not exist,
You do not exist,
You do not,
You just don’t,
You just don’t.

You don’t exist to me.
You don’t exist to me.
You don’t exist to me.
You don’t exist to me.
