| Swinging Mind |
| Pendulum swings, it's gears shriek The rope stings, taught and sleek I can't see how far the pendulum has come It's slow shrieking progress continues to thrum It never slows, it never speeds It may grow quiet, but it never leaves |
| Always swinging forth and back My swinging mind falls off the track Time ticks away..so slow then so fast I try to think through this chaotic dance One plan is constant, but can't be reached It tears at my soul like a hungry beast Always swinging back and forth More shit to let go; more shit to sort |
| I feel the wind from the pendulum's swing Is it closer? or is that how it seems? Waiting for the time when I won't feel undone Not knowing how to begin what I want begun My body is here; no telling the mind Can't figure escape from my self-made binds |
| The pendulum is close, but it won't fall It will keep making its maddening call The shriek will always undulate, but never completely dissipate... |
| Always swinging forth and back My swinging mind falls off the track Time ticks away..so slow then so fast I try to think through this chaotic dance One plan is constant, but can't be reached It tears at my soul like a hungry beast Always swinging back and forth More shit to let go; more shit to sort |
