in the quiet and in the dark
everything is amplified
everything amplified
is amplified again
the depth of a breath
the beat of a heart
the shoosh-shoosh blood
rushing through veins in fits and starts
electrical pulses race back and forth
synapses fire at the slightest provocation
hurry up, wait
hurry up, wait
the endless bustle of an internal subway
delivering weary passengers to every destination
alone, in the dark
I hear their whispers
whispers drowned out
with white noise by day
slipping through the tiniest of cracks
running circles in my mind

in the quiet and in the dark
everything is amplified
everything amplified
is amplified again
the depth of a breath
the beat of a heart
the shoosh-shoosh blood
rushing through veins in fits and starts
electrical pulses race back and forth
synapses fire at the slightest provocation
hurry up, wait
hurry up, wait
the endless bustle of an internal subway
delivering weary passengers to every destination
alone, in the dark
I hear their whispers
whispers drowned out
with white noise by day
slipping through the tiniest of cracks
running circles in my mind
