mushroom (leave a message)

Slow down, about time you took it easy.

Sit down you’ve been running around in circles lately.

I - I know your brain hasn’t been the kindest (ahh).

You cope, co-coughing it up on an empty canvas.

Where is my mind.

Stuck to the grind.

Born working blind what a way to live.

Tiny ghosts are leaning putting pressure on my shoulders.

With every day that passes I get fifty years older.

And all my friends are worried ‘cause I’ll disappear for days.

I’ve been like this for forever never got to act my age.

I was taught to earn my keep by trading waking hours and sleep.

I’m here trying to slow it down but all those lessons run too deep.

I can feel my body shutting down my conscious counting sheep.

No control I’m checking out now leave a message at the [beep].

It’s cool it’s just something I’ve gotten used to.

And I don’t really know who I am if there’s nothing to do.

Curled up on the floor like an obscure mushroom (mushroom).

Relaxing unnatural form in a borrowed costume.

Where is my mind.
