spinning

[coldbluesong]

i want my head to stop spinning
tell the world to stop telling lies
keep the boy from unhealty obsessions
keep his hands away from the gumball machine

don't take it out on me
don't latch your burden around my neck
my burden alone would sink the smiles of the titanic
leaving you to shiver and frown in open waters

God - give me a steady hand
it mocks me with its sudden tremors
the twitching in my brow
is driving me mad

who knows how long before
i turn into a pessimistic politician
bent on destroying what happiness we have left
i couldn't bare to see myself
if only they would stop selling lies

i'm not coming in today
my head is spinning round
i'm going away
somewhere without spastic speeches
somewhere i can rest awhile
