Nothing's wrong, carefully
Crack a smile but suddenly
My oh my
Low stakes and pleasant faces
Breathe in, should I embrace it
But I slide
They'll think I'm dull or patronizing
Should be prepared when it happens
Now again
My sluggish mind can't form the words
Smart things to say, don't know the prose
Am I not right?
Now and again
My thoughts are afloat
Cannot keep my mind
In the same room
Stand down and ease up
I hope this ends soon
Will I ever feel
Like myself again
Words deflect-off my skin
I reach out and reel them in
Empty catch
The same topics on repeat
Pick them up so easily
My throat feels dry
Open mouth, can't speak a sound
Remember when I got around
How, oh how
New brain configuration
Talking feels like an obligation
Please let me out
Now and again
My thoughts are afloat
Cannot my mind
In the same room
Stand down and ease up
I hope this ends soon
Will I ever feel
Like myself again
Now and again
My thoughts are afloat
Cannot my mind
In the same room
Stand down and ease up
I hope this ends soon
Will I ever feel
Like myself again
