Bugs in My Brain

The bugs in my brain
Are eating at me more each day
And I want to write it down
But I can't stop the words to explain
I need a step by step to tell me how to relax
I'm pacing back and forth
My brain is longing for an axe to
Split it down the middle where it's breaking at the seams
Try to tell my heart that being is a little much for me
It's a battle of a century that's just the way it seems
Try to tell my heart bleeding is the way it oughta be

Sitting is hard, fighting is dumb
The world spins sideways, I can't run
The doorway's open, the window's closed
The memories enter through my nose
Responding out loud is harder than it sounds
Sometimes I wish that I could keep my feet on the ground
But I think about everything at once
My brain will decide for me for fun

Frightening distance, future kisses
The sidewalk is too many colors
What is this? Can I fix this?
Does anyone see these colors?
Math and music, money and love
If I make too much then I kill the dove
There's a perfect balance, use your talents
They say "Use that head"
So I slam it on the bed again

The bugs in my brain
Are eating at me more each day
I want to write it down
But I can't stop the words to explain
These thoughts for a second should take up a day

Every note's a different person, every note's a different color
Every note's a different reason to turn this chaos into splendor
I listen better when I'm staring out the window
Trees got leaves and people got problems
I write better songs when I'm sad
Isn't that unfair? But I'm not unhappy
I just use my emotion to not feel so bad
About missing every word everyone said to me today
Because my brain could not stand still
It ran away from me again
I must have forgot to pay attention to the present

The bugs in my brain
Are eating at me more each day
I want to write it down
But I can't stop the words to explain
These thoughts for a second should take up a day
The bugs in my brain
Are eating at me more each day
I want to write it down
But I can't stop the words to explain
These thoughts for a second should take up a day
