about

In this track, Micki XO takes a deep dive into her mental state by revealing how the two sides of herself - her manic and depressive sides of her bipolar - are constantly at war with one another. Who will win control over her brain? Listen to find out!

lyrics

Angry, gnashing teeth
Turns to a smile so sweet
(Turns to a smile so sweet)
Two fold into one
My mental origami

Run, Run, baby, run away
Adrenaline is rushing me
I'm pretty poison
Do you want a taste?
Choking on my sanity

I'm at war with myself
The reflection in the mirror
Even when I can't see her
And I'm scared of my own mind
Desperate to be whole within
But I've lost control again

There's a monster inside me
Stealing all the air I breathe
And I've tried, yeah, I've tried
To fix it
Up, down, never middle ground
All the leaves are cold and brown
Tried to fit in as a misfit

Run, Run, baby, run away
Adrenaline is rushing me
I'm pretty poison
Do you want a taste?
Choking on my sanity

I'm at war with myself
The reflection in the mirror
Even when I can't see her
And I'm scared of my own mind
Desperate to be whole within
But I've lost control again

Cannot feel anything anymore
Rattled to my core
Tick-Tickin' time bomb you can't ignore
Feels like I'm losing my own war
Cannot feel anything anymore
Rattled to my core
Tick-Tickin' time bomb you can't ignore
Feels like I'm losing my own war
