Moments spent Manic

And it’s back again

Swinging like a pendulum

Forth and back again

It’s all so cumbersome

Been holding on so long

I forgot how to release my grip

Now I’m crawling

Lost in this ego trip

And it’s back swinging

And it leaves me clinging…

Almost hypnotizes the idle eyes

So overwhelmingly synchronized

Eloquent in its simplicity

Its ability to control me

Back and forth, right on time

It’s motivation, so divine

Seconds turned to decades

Moments spent manic

Unaware of what lurks beneath

Now sending me in a panic

Can’t help but feel a little frantic

It’s motivation, so divine

And it’s back again

Just can’t keep it away

So many thoughts running

Yet I have nothing to say

Broken, I’m breaking

I run, it meets me halfway

Naked and shaking

Just can’t get away

There’s one way

To end it all today

And I still may….

It will leave you feeling dejected

Hopeless and demoralized

Reach into your thoughts

Make you doubt your lover’s eyes

Every time it comes back again

A part of your soul dies

So beautiful in its simplicity

So clever in its disguise

Last place you expect it to be

Oh what a surprise, this voice isn’t me

 

But it’s dragging me down just the same
