Another day, another nucleation site
Another field of dendrites
Think, doubt, think again
Spin your wheels
Dig a rut in your brain
Are we safe?
Are you sure?
Are your intentions pure?
Do you think you know what’s happening?
Are you sure you know what’s happening?
Check once, check twice
Are we good?
Check again
Spin your wheels
Dig a rut in your brain
Are you sure it’s not different?
Are you sure that you’re safe?
Check again, check again
As much as it takes
I know what’s happening
I’ve seen this cycle before
Are you safe?
Are you sure?
Are you sure that you’re sure?
Sick of talking to you
But I’ll check that, too
I’ll check that, too, for you
Light up a signal
Send up a prayer
Carry the fire
Repel the despair
Speak of your problems
In just the right way
You did it wrong, bitch, now they’ll stay
They’ll stay
Do it just right or they’ll stay
Put them on paper
Scrawl the deranged
Let it soak in and
Rearrange, rearrange
Put everything in the place it belongs
Tear yourself open: Poem or song?
Did I do it wrong?
Does it matter? It doesn’t
Or maybe it does
I’m rooted in place
And can’t move because
It’s spinning and screaming
inside of my head
And all of the dials
Are turned to the red
But you can run engines dry
And any cycle can die
So I say:
Not another shred of information
Not another second of rumination
And soon
it will be
another day
