let me start by saying this happens almost every day
thoughts are so complex, start playing tricks until I'm gone
only stories change, all these things my mind creates
and I hope you can relate
I close my eyes
start drifting back into my dark side
weight of all I remember and what I'll know
shifts and forms into living shapes and colors
and they can't stop multiplying
all this traffic and congestion in my mind
they invade my only space
my seemingly safe place
squeezing and constricting 'til i'm bursting at the seams
all start to inflate and begin to infiltrate my imagination
hands become guns
I'd desperately like to use on myself
but instead become vices for frustration
endless bullets to shoot into the sky
along with my head that's flying
and the rest of my body disappears into the ground
now I'm only in the wind
a memory wore thin
forgetting all the people who are now forgetting me
and then when I decide
I'll let out a deep sigh
and I'll open up my eyes
