Thoughts of Lava (2008)

How low do you have to be? Stuck in a crawl

Stuck in a place, counting cracks on walls,

Wish my tears would run like waterfalls

I need my mind treated for a full overhaul.

 

Can’t seem to speak or say what’s on my mind,

People use me; my weakness is being to kind,

I only wish I could speak up sometimes,

So I don’t lie when I say I’m fine.

 

Atheist, was never saved, I wonder about karma,

My mind builds up, erupts, thoughts flow like lava,

I need to become my own mind master.

Choose to wear an emotional balaclava.
