Burdens of the Mind
Here I am again
Just a sittin
With a lot of words simply spinnin

Sittin in front of my screen
Unloading words in a fury and in a hurry
Been dropping them since I was a teen

Burdens of the mind
Time after time
Got me sittin here
Rippin out rhyme after rhyme

What is it this time?
Who did the crime?
Who put the sour in the lime?

Can’t escape it
My mind
Somebody
Something
Has simply gone and raped it

Nothing is ever what it seems
People get caught up in their dreams
Sometimes things come undone like pants ripping at the seams
Individuals or teams,
Lotions or creams,
Whispers or screams,
A variety of things
Never know what time brings

Reminder
Him or her
Hot or cold
Mmmm or brrrrrrr
What’s with this?
Life and all of its twists

Burdens of the mind
Come and go
Some nice
Some unkind
Someone, somebody, something….
Show me the way
Or maybe
Leave me blind

Treated so bad
Made so glad
Ups and downs
Smiles and frowns
Reminders throughout the town
Circling through the head
Somedays things don’t ever seem to come around
Just wanna stay asleep in bed
Escape the thoughts running through my head

Life goes on
Oh blah dee
Oh blah dah
Yada yada
I get it
I’ll live with it
But what’s with the burdens of the mind
Someone, somebody, something….
Show me the way
Or maybe
Leave me blind
