I keep it right here In touch but not near The threat keeps me moving On toes with my fear Your reason is clearest The emotions controlled My drive here is fiercest but it too is temporal To the slightest degree My balance is off My mind's a new me And relativity's lost Too close brings defeat Sickness need not fight My might stares beyond you, come on in we're locked in fright! My nerves have all passed out Overwhelmed by a greater force They know it will beat them Kill me now, the waiting's worse It's these times when my sheets Stay dampened for weeks And my shoulders still break out And my sneakers still shake And it's hard to get away To acknowledge makes it stay And my wallowing builds To my wallowing state But on the way down The pressure is great The snap of the panic Can send me like light Below where I'm stable Beyond where I'm right Romance here is strongest I am brave at least tonight The urge has been pushed back So far I am bold I'm blind to its warnings and I can stand like I'm told Too far makes me shallow No scare to keep me straight I'm selfless with glory I'm an idiot when I've lost sight It's these times I make promises To be delivered while I sleep I'm the man that the book made The stupid zealot of the week My bouts with pouncing! My stints with might! My bouts with pouncing! My stints with might! My bouts with pouncing! My stints with might! My bouts with pouncing! My stints with might!
