Frantic again, why aren’t you sleeping?
Mind is awake, destroying comfort
Anxious, afraid, it’s nervous tension
Don’t be ashamed, just take control now
Frantic, manic, panicked
Nothing’s the same in this new normal
Claim what it is and face the demons
Deal with the change, don’t play the victim
Fight through the pain, it makes you stronger
Reeling, flailing, speeding
Constantly moving, unsettled and restless
Panicked and manic, tumultuous mindset
Frantic again, why aren’t you thinking?
Slow down the brain, regain your focus
Give up the urge, gratification
Seek out instead, a calming presence
Frantic, manic, panicked
Try to regain a sense of freedom
Break from the chains of all this pressure
Torn in between, the mind is splintered
How to proceed; who is your master?
Reeling, flailing, speeding
Constantly moving, unsettled and restless
Panicked and manic, tumultuous mindset
Reeling and flailing, we’re speeding to something
We can’t comprehend that engulfs our attention
The mind ignores the truth around us
The mind reveals its own confusion
The mind collides with expectations
The mind implodes while under pressure
Chemistry, psychology
Shifting with society
Worlds away from inner peace
How to find tranquility?
Constantly moving, unsettled and restless
Panicked and manic, tumultuous mindset
Reeling and flailing, we’re speeding to something
We can’t comprehend that engulfs our attention
