The Dangerous Art of Overthinking

The storm is close, how to survive?

The waves grow high, so does the tide

The Earth is quaking, see the walls falling down

And the end of the world is near

Bracing myself to say goodbye

To pack my bags, run out of sight

All of a sudden I realize it's all lies

That's my mind playing tricks on me

Here in the dark I'm feeling lost

I'm dancing with my inner ghosts

My brain's a prison and I just cannot take it anymore

A burst of insanity

I can't think coherently

Drowning in this void of mine

With fears amplified

Bring me back to reality

Call out my name and catch me

While I fall astray

Drag me away

It's up to me, I can't deny

To turn the tables, change the rhyme

It's tough, it hurts but there is no other way

To defy the distress inside

A part of me day by day dies

Too hard just to rationalize

The sleep of Reason only monsters produced

But I don't want them all to stay

I think I'm losing all control

Upon this stream of random thoughts

Regrets and shame seem so real

A super-ego so severe

Rage coming in waves again

Why do I always fail

To change this odd state of mind

This is the last time

I'm fighting against myself

It takes so much strength to rise up and break these chains

My tears are vain
