Thom Dunn - Diagnostic Neuroatypicality; Or, Adhd (Acoustic) Lyrics

When my head won't stop and
Thoughts keep coming 'til they suddenly drop
Mid-spot
Then pick up in another time and place

I run around a while and try to see it straight, but
My brain burns fast to concentrate
I can't wait
I'm frustrated, but there's no place to escape

Everything, everything is on my mind
That's why I'm running and running in it all the time, and why
I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why

Then I prime the engine just to give it a start
Until my thoughts churn forward and drag my heart
Now I'm flying too fast, but I ain't crashed so far

Kicking this cognition into overdrive with
A mania that makes the most of a life
It's dangerous, but it's the only way I'm all right
At least, most of the time

Everything, everything is on my mind
That's why I'm running and running in it all the time, and why
I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why
Everything, everything is on my mind
Now I'm running and running in it all the time, and
I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why
Everything's on my mind

When I've wandered way too far for me to find
And I've made my way around the synapses inside
I don't mind that I get lost half of the time
Until you come to me, and then suddenly...

Everything, everything is on my mind
That's why I'm running and running in it all the time, and why
I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why
Everything, everything is on my mind
Now I'm running and running in it all the time, and
I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why
Everything, everything is on my mind
That's why I'm running and running in it all the time, and why
I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why
Everything, everything is on my mind
Now I'm running and running in it all the time, and
I never learned how to live in one line, and that's why
