Crashing
Slowly fading in and out
going crazy without a doubt.
Thoughts flying all around
not one person makes a sound.
Body in agony from head to toe,
but no we cant stop its time to go.
Screaming on the inside BEGGING to stop
Just slow down please Im going to drop.
~ Take a trip throughout your mind~
B*You'll Be amazed at what you find*
Lost in a world unseen to the eye.
Higher than any cloud in the sky.
Ask yourself how long have you been awake
So you can determine whats real and whats fake.
after so long no one can tell.
We are all just trapped in one big illusion cell.
Hearing and seeing things not really there
Your brain and reality not playing fair.
Weak minds go crazy....
Strong minds go hazy....
But its all the same in the end,
If you go to sleep your mind will mend.
!! BUT !!
If you like this world of TrîcKs,
FIGHT the sleep, and get your kicks.
But sooner or later you WILL drop.
Your mind and body will make you stop.
Until that moment happens.....
ahh forget what I said
I was just writing down words
that popped in my head.
Hahaha. I guess that shit has fried my brain.
