lyrics

bubble bubble up
bubble faster in my gut

clench my lungs until
i gasp like a fish out of water

that's all i feel like these days
beyond being a small fish in a big pond

i grow sicker with every cloud of thought
that hovers over the rays of my sanity

i feel the constant churning of emotional
acids that thrash beneath my flesh

back and forth like a porch swing
and i'm waiting for the moment the ropes snap

but they never do
i am strung along on a thin thread

waiting for something to happen
anything to pull me out of the pit of anticipation

i am waiting for my own fears
to reveal themselves to me

i wish i could speak truth with the analogy
of preparing for battle perhaps

waiting for the enemy to strike and being ready to
slay the knights with my sword of serenity

but i cannot and i do not speak that truth
at least not today

not today when my body chemically reacts to the
chemicals in my brain that distort my own reality

not today when i feel more like
a beggar than a king
