I THINK I THINK TOO MUCH

cesspool mindset, boiling over ten speed blenderhead
puree'd logic, whipped reason, liquified emotions
swim through the motions
some other time change the subject
another matter that doesn't matter
move on, move over, make room over there
filling in the spaces, no more looking for missing pieces
it's time for mindless entertainment and instant gratification
but I can't dance, what shall I do, I'm overwhelmed
I'm overqualified, it's overload, it's overkill, it's over
it's just a point of reference now
but I'll get back to it, I never forget
I just have poor timing
my stream of consciousness becomes a river
throw me a lifeline, throw me a brick, throw up
suck up all the filth and spit it back in their faces
the morally malnourished exist on a steady diet of their own excrement
it's no coincidence that rhymes with excellent
I'm not paranoid, someone formed a committee and planned it
someone had to draw the roadmap
I just need to sleep, I need to dream
I need to wake up in her arms
and look upon all this time gone by
as just another ugly nightmare
it's all just a dream within a dream
and that is the sad truth until tomorrow
when I have to mow the lawn again
