  • I'm running low on serotonin
    Chemical imbalance got me twisting things
    Stabilize with medicine
    There's no depth to these feelings
    Dig deep, can't hide
    From the corners of my mind
    I'm terrified of what's inside

    I get
    Intrusive thoughts like cutting my hands off
    Like jumping in front of a bus
    Like how do I make this stop
    When it feels like my therapist hates me
    Please don't let me go crazy
    Put me in a field with daisies
    Might not work but I'll take a maybe
    Oh, been breaking daily
    But only me can save me
    So I'm capitulating
    Crying like a fucking baby

    I'm running low on serotonin
    Chemical imbalance got me twisting things
    Stabilize with medicine
    But there's no depth to these feelings
    Dig deep, can't hide
    From the corners of my mind
    I'm terrified of what's inside

    I get
    Intrusive thoughts
    Like burning my hair off
    Like hurting somebody I love
    Like does it ever really stop?
    When there's control I lose it
    Incredibly impulsive
    So scared I'm gonna end up doing something stupid
    But I try to contain it
    Oh, it gets so draining
    It's like my heart is failing
    Every night I'm contemplating
    My inner voices saying, "tough"
    So I try to brush it off
    Yeah, try to brush it off

    I'm running low on serotonin
    Chemical imbalance got me twisting things
    Stabilize with medicine
    But there's no depth to these feelings
    Dig deep, can't hide
    From the corners of my mind
    I'm terrified of what's inside Writer/s: Marie Ulven Ringheim
