down a staircase
my mind in a race
in a crowded space
can't keep up this pace

spi
     ra
        ling
I tumble down
face in a frown
this is how I drown
my thoughts-- the only sound

spi
     ra
        ling
at this point I'm lost
can't remember the cause
because anxiety is the boss
my life never seems to pause

spi
    ra
       ling
maybe this is the end
falling into my head is the trend
I have no energy to spend
burnout is now my best friend
