THINK


1, 2, 3

1, 2, 3

1, 2, 3

1, HEY WHATCHA DOING?

Do I tell them I am counting?

No NO NO

That'll make it worse again

Just count

You know it makes you feel better

Why WHy WHY WHY

There now there's four

Maybe I can get my brain to ignore

Time Time Time Time

Space Space Space Space

Bad BAd BAD BAD

That's all my brain ever thinks about

Then comes the counting

It's horrible

I can't live my life without THINKING

I want to not be and not think
