Traveller - Sleepless

My mind always wanders
And sometimes gets lost
My mind always wanders
And sometimes gets lost
In its own branches
Hardly to grasp
Too many thoughts
To follow them all
Each answer calls
A new question

My mind always takes me
On journeys alone
Through picture storms
I am thrown back and forth
When my focus is slipping
My mind runs away from me
The harder I try to hold it
It takes me away

Deprived of sleep
Mind like a hurricane
Fragments of thoughts
Swirling in circles
Each impression like a tickle
Rain fills the riverbed
Rarely a trickle
But most times a current

I wish I could focus more
I wish my thinking was clearer
But my mind always flows
In an elusive trickle
I wish I had it once quiet
Wish for the voices to stop
But the noise swells on
Like a waterfall

Sleepless
Mind like a hurricane
In the quietest place
I hear the loudest screams
Sleepless
Mind like a hurricane
A cascade of ideas
Dragged down the drain

An empty canvas
Can be a movie scene
In the quietest place
I hear the loudest screams

It won't let me fade away
Won't let me sleep an urge is always there
Sleepless
Some days I feel blessed
But mostly it's a curse

My mind always shows me
Picturesque landscapes
It loves to abduct me
To brighter days
Paints me pictures in colors
I have never seen
Each time the daily routine
Threatens to sink me in

I wish I could focus more
I wish my thinking was clearer
But my mind always flows
In an elusive trickle
I wish I had it once quiet
Wish for the voices to stop
But the noise swells on
Like a waterfall

I wish I could focus more
I wish my thinking was clearer
But my mind always flows
In an elusive trickle
I wish I had it once quiet
Wish for the voices to stop
But the noise swells on
Like a waterfall

Sleepless
Mind like a hurricane
In the quietest place
I hear the loudest screams
Sleepless
Mind like a hurricane
A cascade of ideas
Dragged down the drain

Sleepless
Mind like a hurricane
In the quietest place
I hear the loudest screams
