Heavy thoughts,
Weigh my mind.
Heavy thoughts
Strong and unkind.
My rib cage,
Comes to a close.
Suffocating my lungs,
My breathing slows.
What is this feeling,
That's lurking below.
The surface of my skin,
Seeping poison into my blood flow.
Trying to fight off these emotions,
Trying to fight off the commotion.
Can't keep up with my mind,
Don't even know what I'm trying to find.

Heavy thoughts,
Weigh my mind.
Heavy thoughts
Strong and unkind.
My rib cage,
Comes to a close.
Suffocating my lungs,
My breathing slows.
What is this feeling,
That's lurking below.
The surface of my skin,
Seeping poison into my blood flow.
Trying to fight off these emotions,
Trying to fight off the commotion.
Can't keep up with my mind,
Don't even know what I'm trying to find.
