No Half Measures
Anger bleeds out
Like pressurised steam from a pipe
It bellows it hisses
All the while taking over
Leaving me shaken
There’s no valve to lessen the effect
It’s either off or on
No half measures in this pea brain
Warring cells burn themselves out
Leaving me drained of energy
Can’t step away from it all
Mind overthinks every situation
Trying to solve worse scenarios
That in the end never come
Just frustrations of my own making
Nothing reverses it’s a race for sanity
They could fit me for a straitjacket
But I feel I am already wearing one
Cause whatever I do
I can not reach the outside world
Like pressurised steam from a pipe
It bellows it hisses
All the while taking over
Leaving me shaken
There’s no valve to lessen the effect
It’s either off or on
No half measures in this pea brain
Warring cells burn themselves out
Leaving me drained of energy
Can’t step away from it all
Mind overthinks every situation
Trying to solve worse scenarios
That in the end never come
Just frustrations of my own making
Nothing reverses it’s a race for sanity
They could fit me for a straitjacket
But I feel I am already wearing one
Cause whatever I do
I can not reach the outside world
