When I was a boy I never could explain
How falling lines ignite like fuses in my brain
Ticking down the time and burning in my bones
Till from the broken rhymes a melody explodes
Words are pouring out like lightning through my veins
The current draws me in, caught underneath the waves
Fill me to the brim I'm sure to overflow
And when the levee breaks the flood will take me whole
The ringing in my ears will carry me away
Trapped inside the sounds that offer no escape
