Test the Limits
These thoughts are richocheting
 rewind-fastforward-playing
 Over and over
 Track after track
 
 Pressure building 
 Thoughts overflowing
 Eyeballs bulging and
 Skin is crawling
 Can you feel the energy
 Pulsating in and out
 
 Can you tell the time
 Its gone rushing by
 While I'm in this daze
 Simple things escape my grasp
 What's my name? Who am I again?
 Thats the last time I try to 
 Test the limit
 
 Clutch my head
 Squint my eyes shut
 Deep breaths
 Gasping in and out
 Trying to relieve some pressure
 Just let it out through my mouth
 In Screams and Shouts and murmered curses
 louder and louder
 To make myself heard over 
 A cacophony, an orchestrated symphony, this mixed up melody
 The din thats blasting inside my head
 Leaking through my ears
 Spilling out to the world
 Off of my tongue
 
 Get me out of here
 Would someone please
 Just let me out
 Bored to tears
 Almost enough to make me try to 
 Push the limits
 Break a boundary
 Test the bonds
 Raise the roof
 When I remembered what happened last time
 
 Can you tell the time
 Its gone rushing by
 While I'm in this daze
 Simple things escape my grasp
 What's my name? Who am I again?
 That's the Last time I try to test the limit
 
 Now that the pain has subsided
 The medley in my head now quieted
 Glancing around, life seems so monotone
 Compared to the heaven of technicolor touch
 That I get from tempting the rush
 Now that I'm back
 I feel numb to the bone
 As it turns out,
 the really real truth is
 It seems like being past the boundaries
 Now
 feels
 like
 home.
