Waking up in distress I am already out of my mind
Then to see the smoke cover my eyes
Intoxicating my brain making it hard to think straight
Clouding my thoughts unaware of what's happening around me
My mind moving faster than my body to see the flames grow out of control
The flames grow so intense they penetrate towards my thoughts
Burning inside my brain looking for an escape
My head is getting heavier than bricks
There is no more time to waste
When will my mind decide to move and get away?
My mind is a house with walls beginning to break down
Looking for an escape that is nowhere in sight
This house is coming down faster than light and the speed of sound
My intuition is slower than the flames consuming me from the inside out
So, this is what it feels like to have your brain on fire
Thinking of ways to escape but it's just getting hotter
When will my mind decide to move and get away Tick...Tick...Tick...?
There are the sounds of my conscience waiting to make a move
Going off in my head just like an alarm
Warning me time is spread thin there's no time to wait
When will my mind decide to move and get away?
Building up the walls I can deconstruct
Finally deciding to escape the destruction the flames construct
My mind finally leaving and bringing me to safety
Escaping the flames that could have killed me
This is not what I have thought would happen when my mind was in charge of the escape
Subconsciously the mind will find all means to survive
To thrive and have its host come out of the flames alive
