Cycling

Each second creeps
Stale and stifling
Phantoms are wriggling
And I know if
I open my mouth to
Scream
They'll force their way in
I can only laugh or cry
Hopeless and helpless

That feeling you get when you
Hear nails on a chalkboard?
The itching on your skin?
Each shudder brings a
Fresh fear
You'll never be free
Smile and Dial
Choke the shit down
Change it up. Keep it fresh

If I could just ride the wave
Then maybe
It would be ok-
But I can see the darkness
The sweeping clouds
And I know I can't run
I always trip and fall
They say forewarned
Is forearmed
They know nothing
