DIZZY SPELLS © 2012 - by Kelly Mcaulley The longer I lay here I can feel it It makes my skin crawl And I feel sick With background noises Back and forth, stuck, “tick, tock, tick ..” I’m beginning to lose it The life Im choosing A battle I’ve grown comfortable loosing The longer I lay here I can feel it My heart starts sinking, and sinking Never a thought to what I was thinking The noises ring closer and closer, faster and faster I grew into such a disaster Without sense of control Or what I seem to be going after Plagued I’m like a cat So spare me nine lives Vexation kills me, though I’ve never died The longer I lay here I can feel it And I just can’t stand the noise It’s a ringing, buzzing, right in my ear The longer I lay here Those sounds of my pulse racing, my heart beating Have their own method of teaching Looks like I’ll be here a while Brings the bearer of bad news In addition to the disorderly blues Haven’t looked in the mirror But there’s no need Their expressions towards my honesty Is quite enough for me There’s a pulse beneath my skin As I feel it growing thicker I’m coming to, quicker and quicker Voices carry outside, and I can feel their eyes With their shadows passing by Humiliated Once too dark, now too bright It’s quite clear The longer I lay here Give me something I deserve The longer i lay here Lesson learned |
