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
