I've got a constant tension in my clenched jaw
Muscles bulging beneath skin that I have rubbed raw
I know you've seen my nervous ticks and haven't run far
But the way I'm swayed by my emotions follows no strict law

To get an effect you need a cause
Unfortunately I rarely recognize it until after I've felt the loss
of the situation

Wish life had a transport so I could hit pause
rewind and playback

My mother's in the basement
Crying over the implications
"Why would you say that?"

Never can tell when it will begin
Feel the blood rush
Anxiety kicking in

Before I know it

Before I know it


Spit ****, split skin
I'm laying on pavement

My heartbeat increasing
My pupils dilated

And I hear your voice
Telling me I can take it

But it sounds so far
And I feel like I'm fading

In and out of consciousness
My numb fingers lock and twitch


Can we go to the hospital
Now and not later

If I close my eyes now
I may meet my maker

If I had the choice
I would be my own savior

But I'm too busy right now
Feeling too dizzy right now


Maybe when things slow down
I'll tell you what I'm thinking

Though I'd rather pretend
This had all been a dream


And soon I'll wake up

— The End —
