There are so many words moving through my mind -
alive, I know they are alive
I can see them walk and run and jump and dance -
they can, I swear to you they can

I try to hum a tune to force them to come out -
but doubt, my song is filled with doubt
Instead I give them rest, they sleep inside my head -  
a bed, I've made for them a bed

Now they are too strong for me to take them on -
I'm gone, I cannot carry on
They guide me in their ways, I start to play their game -
the same, it all seems so mundane

I'm looking for a thought in which I can find peace -
a plea, a key to set me free
But I've become so weak that I can barely talk -
I walk, my mind it got me lost
