Spinning My Brain

I'll let you know it all
Spinning my brain up and down before I forget
I'm wishing that you could accept it but I just can't explain
My brain and I
Facing clouds
You, my brain and my brain and you
Felt up and down, I can judge simple situations
Anything more, I will wait until everything is late
The time, when it comes, will be filled with procrastination
Filling a space with some meaningless information
Spinning my brain up and down before I forget
I'm wishing that you could accept
Even I don't understand
Filling my head up with lies and misinformation
Taking away every single one of my reasons
Is it the people or is it my intervention?
I'm only carried away again if I knew me

Not In This Place

Look outside and there's a fire starting
To distract from my constant writing
It's all I can see
Look outside at something distracting
At a screen or a person acting
Like an imbecile
Wish I was outside, not in this place
Anything at all to see your face
Better do something productive soon
I wish I was doing something for you
Before too long my mind races
To make up for lost time, I'm wasting
Everything I own
Given or a loan
It's probably good that I'm lazy;
Do you remember how crazy everybody seems?
If it were up to me
Which it never seems to be
I'd sleep eight or nine hours
Near her shop bought flowers
Wish I was outside not in this place
Wish my hand could reach and touch your face
Everything just takes up so much time
I'm wishing time would fly, we'd be just fine

I can see the radio
I can see me overthinking a problem and
Cycling round the world before solving anything
I can think of many things that I'd rather be
Tell me again how you think that I should be
I can see the radio
I can probably guess how long I will spend
Idly and comatose
Feeling, dealing, reeling, overanalysing
Everything but, and I think I'm constipated
Learning everything
I think I'm learning everything in a heartbeat
I'm having a break
(repeat)
Television idiot
TV Sixteen-Minute Advert Break
Turn up the volume; I can't hear the wisdom
So much more important than anything you say to me
Feeling, dealing, reeling, overanalysing
Everything but, and I think I'm constipated
Learning everything
I think I'm learning everything in a heartbeat
I'm having a break
(repeat)
I don't know what I ever expected to get done
I don't know why I didn't expect it to go wrong
I don't know why the television is still on
Advertising, overly distracting
Feeling, dealing, reeling, overanalysing
Everything but, and I think I'm constipated
Learning everything
I think I'm learning everything in a heartbeat
I'm having a break
(repeat)

Breakfast

You look like you need a hand
Take a seat for a sit-down or a sleep
Maybe I can help you understand what a week you've had
Your face tells me everything
Take a seat, have a coffee or a tea
Even have it in the mug you bring
You can take your time
(The) truth is, I anticipate
Every week I can see it in my head
And I'm never filled with any dread
Come and sit with me
I get ever so lonely
This arrangement is so mutually helpful
I could even say, to me, it's like therapy
Feeling like we help each other
Can I at least cook the supper?
Do you want to talk about her?
Can I at least buy you dinner?
Thank you for cooking my breakfast
I know it's not just because I made yours first

It's late in the day, we're chilling out in the front room
No one would blame us on a Sunday afternoon
Your telephone is ringing, I guess it's my turn
You had to leave me with the coffee that I so graciously burned
I say "I'll let her in," responsible, I'm sure
Little do we know what is happening is such a silly chore
I hear the buzzer, like a razor in my ears
Reading her voice, it seems she's seriously fearful to get in
Quickly, I answer
And open the door for her
Before I can stutter
She says that she's sorry she's so annoying
Where did that come from?
Deliberating, what if she's heard?
Maybe it's nothing
Or maybe it explains the reason
She wouldn't even bother having a conversation
To think I was devastated
I feel shivers running round like a TV screenplay
Fictional truths you couldn't even fathom if you tried
Lazy manners
Contrived
Sounds like you're doing time
Can you fathom a lie?
Is she even alive?

I can see a number
(I'm) pretty sure it's starting with five
Sitting in the corner
Of my left eye
What the hell?
Where did the time go?
Last time I checked, it was one
Has it been four hours?
One more game and maybe call it
Like we did
Four games ago
Post-turning the lights off
And after fumbling over my room
I barely remember
Any of the subject matters
"I wish I had a mirror that wasn't in such an awkward setting"
"You know that film composer?
You know, I've totally forgotten his name"
What the hell
Where did the time go?
When we called it it was late
Has it been another hour?
Say good night, we're up tomorrow
After four hours sleep
What the hell
What were we thinking?
We believed
Sleeping so late would be fine
Now we're in pieces
We can't be late again
Let's pick up all of the four-man debris
We're not 17
And it's not 5pm

Wandering concrete streets
Orangey yellow grey
Wondering when
Wondering why
Pictures
Pictures drawing pictures
Hanging in wooden frames of mind
Counting the woollen sheep
Is harder when losing sleep
Pictures
Pictures are distracting
When they're relating in my head
Can you recall, I convinced you
Screaming and kicking
To crack a grin
I want that again
Such inviting easy listening
I'm so sorry for such self-pity
Pictures
Pictures drawing pictures
When it arrives
I'll try not to cry
Oh god
Please don't turn the yellow lights down
Leave them
I don't care even if they
Keep me
Losing sleep all night
All night
Someone's missing in my
Twin size
Are you listening?

I can see you on weekends
And we can play at co-inhabitants
And I can see it in my head
I can see you on weekends
But now it's more than just weekends
Now I can see you every day
