The pounding in my brain
Sounds like footsteps in the hallway
Someone's out to get me
For a second I'm afraid
The static in my eyeballs
Makes light and darkness rivals
I look for your arrival
For a second I'm afraid
Oh, the chatter of my teethbones
Is ringing in my ear holes
Hives and mumps and measles
For a second I'm afraid
The humming in my body
Ain't felt by everybody
Does anybody feel me
In my car
In a community lot
Earshot of the birds and the mice and whatnot
And the sun is hot
It's one of those days
When I just don't feel in tune
With my surroundings
Black hole in the center of my chest
Oh, yeah
Give me my restless acceptance
And etiquette lessons
A near life-long sentence
To ponder my actions
Compact my malice
And a fist I'm a-clenching
Black hole in my chest
What else am I forgetting
Back to the drawing board
I'm stripped of my chalk
I'm barren, barren comparing
But I gotta start somewhere
Just put the chalk to the board
Do anything, do anything you can
Just get yourself out there and do it
I don't know where I'm gonna start
I have no clue
But the fact is I've fallen behind
And I'm a victim to resting and laziness
So I just gotta laugh it off
That old black hole in my chest
