lyrics

Let me introduce you to the wild and wacky ride of my trick brain! I’m on it every day!

Feels like I have super powers to sense in ways that others can’t see! But it plays tricks on me!

Remember how told our stories beneath mango tree that Lake Worth night? Each word’s stored safe inside my mind, a gift that follows me wherever roam. Yet keys just had, nowhere to see. Into tailspin of resenting brainpower that fails me when I need; a flicking switch I can’t control. And negatives wish could forget, on board along with all the rest. My fragile dam at risk of burst; one memory can cause a flood.

Tell me what do you think of the fun and scary sides of my trick brain? Never a boring day!

There’s no background; all I perceive all at once always bombarding me! And I like it that way!

Brick walls sparkle, trees seem to speak. Child wonder’s mine eternally! But can’t filter, only perceive: Car beeps, door slams, my enemies. Taking pictures of city streets or seeking peace upon prairies, my life’s loves are not immune to anxieties’ abrupt intrude. What’s past-tragic still influences. Heart rate quickens, senses I doubt. Is 90s’ car crash reason why I check check that the door is shut?

Now you may be thinking it must suck to have to live with my trick brain! I never get a break!

Life’s a process where I find ways to live with all that is part of me! I’m learning every day!

Most effective cope strategy: To live out my own fantasy of friends and rock and wandering; the antonym of homebody. Now comes disrupt to my routine. The years of fears are justified. For good of all, what made me happy can no longer be reality. I’m trapped alone with all that’s wrong. Squeezed between walls, wonder how long till first half of next line's at least as real again as second part:

Life is so beautiful and terrifying!!
Life is so beautiful and terrifying!!
Life is so beautiful and terrifying!!
Life is so beautiful and
