The Brain of Men will be your downfall 

As you overthink and your head fills like a flowing stream

And your body gets frozen up not knowing what to do

And life pushes you to the brink of making a decision quickly

Abundance of words circles your mind like fireflies in a jar

You wonder if it's better to spend that money or not to 

What will you do? 

As the sweat drops from your head as if it was raining

And your talking to your brain but it won't talk back

Your heart and brain are never the same

Your heart will guide you 

But your brain will tempt you

Wonder if it is a stupid idea 

Is this gonna get you laughed at?

As your heart starts to race 

And you turn pale as a ghost 

You hope to disappear

You wanna curl up in a cave in the dark 

Away from all of civilization like bat 

But you can't because we are human 

And as our minds crash like tsunamis hitting land

And our palms turn to oil soaked rags

But We pick ourselves up and continue
