I can see you beside me,
in my peripheral vision,
Always right there,
Always aware,
Of this manic depressive condition
There?s a fever burning up in me,
I?m tangled up inside a sinking feeling,
Slipping out of touch with the controls,
It?s all in---tra----personal.
Lay my head down,
Try and sleep now,
Can?t slow down my mind.
Close my eyes, try to find,
A train of thought I can hop,
Out of the mess I grew in my head,
Afraid I won?t know how to stop
And I want to know,
And I want to know,
And I want to know
Native delirium,
Are you a daughter of
This new insomnia,
My hypochondria?
Wilt me just past the bloom,
Pull up my deepest roots,
A graceful poison like
a wave of vile blight.
There?s a fever burning up in me,
I?m tangled up inside a sinking feeling,
Slipping out of touch with the controls,
It?s all in---tra----personal.
