Dysphoria from Storm by The Delfino Trio

Dysphoria

I get the feeling I'm in someone else's body
These hands, these legs, these looks they just aren't mine
Live each day a blur as an automated zombie
Imaginary life like a mime

Drive an endless highway searching for the real me
Navigate my life's disaster area
Is this some mistake or is this just who I'm meant to be
Oh, dysphoria

Try to lose myself in pernicious distractions
Drink and drugs, perversion online
Defensive stances and my demonised reactions
Wake up with regret all the time

Inner sensitivity is not what my peers seem to see
Passing comments just incite hysteria
Is this a sick joke or is this the real me?
Oh, dysphoria

Sifting through reams of their social media pages
I see their lives so perfect and content
My mind it rages as I ruminate on failures
Is it only me that's driven round the bend?

Who can remember, when's the last time that I smiled?
Lost in selfish pity, nausea
Maybe it's all me or just my tortured inner child
Oh, dysphoria
