Truth Among Ashes - Attention Deficit

I didn't hear a single word you said
I try to pay attention every time you're talking
But my mind it keeps on buzzing
I'm about to lose my head

Dopamine
Temporary motivation
Quickly fleeting, now I'm needing
5-HT
Happy feeling, mental healing
Focused thinking, full night sleeping

Attention deficit, hyperactive mind
Cognitive cognizance
Bright or asinine

A sudden sense of calm
Washes over me
I cannot believe
I can finally keep focus
On your face
Oh, it's so beautiful
It's all I'll ever want
And all I'll ever need

This bliss is artificial
Deep down I know
The joy I feel is superficial
I can quell the fire
Long enough to avoid disaster
But the burns I'm left with after
Leave a mark that I'll remember
Years to come

I can feel it building up
I'm getting lost in all your words
My God, it burns

Where did we come from
And where are we going
What lies out there for us
The unknown
All of these questions
That will never be answered

I have lost my train of thought
What was I going to say
Before I got off track

Side effects may include nausea, paranoia, tachycardia, sudden seizures and instant death

I'm laying in my bed
I'm so overwhelmed and full of dread
The TV's on, but nothing's playing
Please standby, I'm falling asleep

I wake up, afternoon
I slept for twelve hours
I'm still feeling tired
How can this possibly be
I'm still here overthinking
And dwelling on memories
And things that I cannot control
They haunt me, it's daunting
I'm tired of running
I just want control of my soul

Dopamine
Temporary motivation
Quickly fleeting, now I'm needing
5-HT
Happy feeling, mental healing
Focused thinking, full night sleeping

Attention deficit, hyperactive mind
Cognitive cognizance
Bright or asinine
