Funny when your mind won’t quit
And goes off on its own
Everything else takes a hit
When it’s dark and you’re alone
Shadows lurking, waiting
For your tired eyes to close
Anxiously awaiting
To take you as their own
Worry, doubt and anger
Are the first things it digs up
Reminders, threats and danger
Of every time that you fucked up
Takes you on a journey, a long painstaking stroll
Through nasty thoughts inside your skull
Like a filthy, disgusting troll
Fulfilling dirty deeds until it’s appetite is full
Leaving you in shambles
A shell of who you thought you were
Till life, and all its gambles
Beat you until you don’t care no more

"It's 10 in Tuscon! We all know what that means... It's Time for Midnight Snacks with your man, Gerald Gee! Ready to spend the night together? Me too! I'm full of snacks and can't wait to regurgitate them all back into your hungry ears. Crack a brew! Pop some corn! Anything to get ready for one hell of a show where the talk maybe cheap but the words cut deep...

Today my problem seems to be that I can't get it started. Just set there staring into the distance trying to remember what I'm supposed to be doing.
