lyrics

lyrics:

starting from nothing
these sustained thoughts will lead somewhere eventually

Oh no!
Not again! I cannot
process the thoughts inside my own head

My mind is racing
moving faster than riptides
crashing like waves

Neurological currents
drag me out to the dark depths of my mind

Beneath the surface I cannot hear anything
deafened by my thoughts.

Swirling and spinning
increasing velocity perpetually
unable to slow down
I notice I can't remove my hands from the wheel.

Spiraling out of control in all directions
I have lost my way.

Finding my way back will not be easy due to the looming darkness.
A light is needed to see but there is not a candle to be lit

My only option
is to follow these thoughts,
which have lead me to here
