My heart's been racing with my mind to the finish line of these fevered times

stuck down again

this turbulence has overcome

tranquility pounding the walls inside these thoughts

I can't control and shooting through my veins

these heightened senses overwhelming

confusion replaces clarity

a neurotic rearrangement

you know the feeling when down feels up to

it's old tricks again

so misleading when it hits like a ton of bricks to the chest

out of breath on the bathroom floor

and I'll make light of this night and night of this day

it's what I tell myself to sleep when I dream myself awake
