stroke of genius
and then i get distracted
and now the light bulb turns off again
i got ideas
and then they get away from me
now i dont think i remember them
remote controlling
the volume of my voice
as i nod my head yes and feel indifferent
every conversations
a hostage situation
i just want to watch from a distance
im always so preoccupied
whats it like to feel good inside
i want to be focused i want to be calm
i want to be open to just go along
its always like this in my head
a firecracker in my bed
theres better ways to say whats wrong
but im irrational so heres this song
no weight to my words
pretend ive been heard
so i can just let it go
my mind is everywhere else
on autopilot of self
i hope that nobody knows
keep up appearances
smile and act endearing
but never let them ever get close
self preservation kicks in
go on vacation return
feel even more like a ghost
im always so preoccupied
whats it like to feel good inside
i want to be focused i want to be pure
i want to be open with nothing to fear
its always like this in my head
a firecracker in my bed
theres better ways to say whats wrong
but im irrational so heres this song
