My name is Sam,
don't know who I am.
The world keeps spinning round&round;&round;&round; &,
People telling me what's my plan.
Their lips keep moving up&down;&up;&down; &,
I can't seem to hear a sound,
My world is spinning round&round;&up;&down; &,
Why can't I seem to find a way?
Without there being a fine price to pay &,
Why can't you just hear me out?
Without there being tears&shouts;&fears;&doubts; &,
What's wrong with me today?
My emotions stalled, it just won't say, I cannot say &,
I can't stop these pools of tears,
falling down my face, skin's going clear &,
My world's now crashing I cannot see,
Just exactly what it is You want me to Be.

Written summer of 2009 after completing my first year at HKU. Wrote it to the beat of one of Santigold's songs... unfortunately I can't remember which.
