I Think Too Much
I think too much
Every day and all night long
The wheels are turning
Thoughts just dragging me along
They pull me here and drag me there
And I DON’T CARE!
I don’t want to think about war and peace
Or suicide and death and the afterlife
I just want to sleep
To rest
To achieve perfect peace
A lobotomy is what I need
These thoughts keep spinning out of control
I know not where the next one will lead
But it’s like an attack
An attack on my mind
But I can’t fight back
Because the only thing attacking me is
Me, myself, and I
Control it, control it, control it
They say
They don’t understand
Their minds don’t work this way
But how do I explain it
How do I make them see
I’m not crazy
I just
I just
I just
Think too much
