There's an energy in me dying to get out
Stretching aching
Pulling and prodding
my skin in all different directions
Scratching clawing
Ripping and tearing
it's way out
Trying to find a balance to ease itself
My fingers twitch and roll
My shoulder blades shudder in ache
My head knocks
My knees tremble
My feet stomp
My face contorts
Curling my lips into a grimace
Rolling my eyes into darkness
Nose twitches like a **** addict
Trying to find a balance to ease itself
My voice gets hung up
Caught up on words I can't say
Or words I've just heard
Rolling around on the tip of my tongue
Like glass cutting its words into the back of my teeth
There's an energy in me dying to get out

There's an energy in me dying to get out
Stretching aching
Pulling and prodding
my skin in all different directions
Scratching clawing
Ripping and tearing
it's way out
Trying to find a balance to ease itself
My fingers twitch and roll
My shoulder blades shudder in ache
My head knocks
My knees tremble
My feet stomp
My face contorts
Curling my lips into a grimace
Rolling my eyes into darkness
Nose twitches like a **** addict
Trying to find a balance to ease itself
My voice gets hung up
Caught up on words I can't say
Or words I've just heard
Rolling around on the tip of my tongue
Like glass cutting its words into the back of my teeth
There's an energy in me dying to get out
