My thoughts are racing And my heart rate’s climbing I wish I knew how to calm down But once the spinning starts It’s impossible to stop The crazy seeps in and I can’t make out A single thought My mind becomes a blur And my breathing, stops Or so it seems to me It feels like I can’t breathe But maybe that’s just my lungs Failing me The way my mind breaks me I wish I had a way To escape this pain To release this fear That I am holding, onto It looks like a lifeline But it’s a sinking weight That pulls me down with every wave Of every mistake that I will make My logic has abandoned me and i can’t think straight

Think straight?
My thoughts are racing And my heart rate’s climbing I wish I knew how to calm down But once the spinning starts It’s impossible to stop The crazy seeps in and I can’t make out A single thought My mind becomes a blur And my breathing, stops Or so it seems to me It feels like I can’t breathe But maybe that’s just my lungs Failing me The way my mind breaks me I wish I had a way To escape this pain To release this fear That I am holding, onto It looks like a lifeline But it’s a sinking weight That pulls me down with every wave Of every mistake that I will make My logic has abandoned me and i can’t think straight
