Numbers becoming needles
In my mind, in my soul
Fighting and pestering
Grabbing for unprecedented control
A plague of analysis
Taking over all I have
Disconnecting me from the whole
If relaxing is what I must do
Tell me who I should trust
A battle for my soul goes on
Believing that it is really you
Releasing my angst and song
Giving in and giving out
Turning of myself to the flood
I’m covered again
Waves absorbing fear
A platform made of dreams
Figuring what I’ve been figuring
Solving all that must be solved
Forgetting to live in the story
My eyes so closely introspecting
Beginning a saga, another feud
Can I climb through the maze
Find a certain path that won’t sting
It looks like time has gone
I’m still locked up, frozen
Can’t move freely with them
I’m left behind and alone
But you’ve come to help
I don’t know how to speak
Falling down to you in the flood
