The limbic system

Sounds creep softly into my ears
deafening as it’s exploding in my head
no silent peace,
my head keeps making symphonies of deluded thoughts

Thoughts and dreams and music streaming endless, they are stuck in my head
open nerves, they’re killing me
enlarging everything
my mind explodes; it’s burning up and scaring me
nothing feels the same, so strong it shuts me down, so strong I lost control

Emotions creep slowly into my heart, not just my own, I pick up every signal
inflamed and sore,
my heart keeps making tragedies of diminutive things
my everything hurts
my system burns

Sounds and words and memories
they captured me, they’re stuck in my head

Open nerves, they’re killing me
enlarging everything
my mind explodes; it’s burning up and scaring me
nothing feels the same,
so strong it shuts me down
open nerves
they’re showing me the truth by force,
my body’s completely drained
and primitive emotions can thrive, goodbye control

(SOLO)

I feel more pain
my system forces me to
a mental twist to fear all I can become, I can become!

Open nerves, they’re killing me
enlarging everything
my mind explodes; it’s burning up and scaring me
nothing feels the same
as it shuts me down,
a signal I can’t defy
they’re showing me the truth by force, my body’s completely drained
and primitive emotions can thrive,
goodbye control, goodbye illusion
