Stream of Consciousness Walking out of the building Into the overgrowth littered with debris A polluted stream flows wildly And there I just sit and breathe But the shill voice cuts through me A serrated blade through bread And in an instant I’m reminded again Of all the things just said Like… Why are you crazy? How do you feel? How can you hope to possibly know What is false and real? Where is my joy? Where is my life? What have you done to me? are you doing this just out of spite? (Scream…  Scream…) Get out of my head Get out of my mind Don’t think I know Which thoughts are theirs and which are mine Scream, Scream I’m daring to dream Nor me nor them But somewhere between The life I want And the life I’ve been given Not sure anymore What I can believe in (And I scream once more…) Finally silence Alone in my bed But the thoughts of the chaos Just swim in my head Like a fish Or a flipper Cinderella’s Broken glass slipper Finally trails off My conscious like a cowboy in the sunset And I dream all the dreams That I was trying to forget And I wake To the overbrush The polluted stream Chemical dust And I do it all over again

Stream of Consciousness
Stream of Consciousness Walking out of the building Into the overgrowth littered with debris A polluted stream flows wildly And there I just sit and breathe But the shill voice cuts through me A serrated blade through bread And in an instant I’m reminded again Of all the things just said Like… Why are you crazy? How do you feel? How can you hope to possibly know What is false and real? Where is my joy? Where is my life? What have you done to me? are you doing this just out of spite? (Scream…  Scream…) Get out of my head Get out of my mind Don’t think I know Which thoughts are theirs and which are mine Scream, Scream I’m daring to dream Nor me nor them But somewhere between The life I want And the life I’ve been given Not sure anymore What I can believe in (And I scream once more…) Finally silence Alone in my bed But the thoughts of the chaos Just swim in my head Like a fish Or a flipper Cinderella’s Broken glass slipper Finally trails off My conscious like a cowboy in the sunset And I dream all the dreams That I was trying to forget And I wake To the overbrush The polluted stream Chemical dust And I do it all over again
