Double Time

[Chorus 1]

The thoughts inside my mind are racing, racing double time
(Repeat x8)

[Verse 1]

My mind is on vacation, it's floating on the wind
It scrambles for an answer but it knows that is has sinned
Infection in perfection, the world appears so tainted
This life can be a nightmare when you've just become acquainted
The stories of these people inhabiting this place
Their lives are all so separate but they seem to interlace
So centered on the narrative they carry on their face
There's so much more to what we see that fills this empty space
I sit here at a Starbucks, computer on my lap
Can't help but watch the world as I drink my caramel frappe
My home The Emerald City, another gloomy day
The sound of rain sedates my brain and tucks the fear away
I meditate the meaning, the point of this emotion
The ego gets distracted in a world full of commotion
I'm carving my own notches like I'm serrating my knife
I think I must be dreaming soon I'll wake up from this life

Glued to rotation, internal projection
Theories of a life, endless dissection
Gripping the exterior, establishing connection
Instill within our mind with a world in correction

Ambivalence, induces neglect
Why can’t we focus on good prospect?
Fragile in time, unconscious reject
Deriving insecurity, and fighting disconnect

Translate it into Laymen’s so you understand me
The world can be grim if you choose it to be
Life will give meaning then you’ll see
That what appears broken works flawlessly

The world is vast, so often undefined
Hard to take a break when you’re always in your mind
Often live like a dollar waiting on a dime
'Til ya realize you think in double time

[Chorus 2]

The thoughts inside my mind are racing, racing double time
(x8)

[Verse 2]

Living in a world I've manifested by myself my life has sustenance because of the emotion that I've felt
An intricate reality, intangible design I'm banking off the faith that my success will tranquilize my mind
Everyday I wake I reinvent myself somehow, I'm finding internal security and starting to allow
My thoughts clutter my words stutter, I stop and ease my mind, a code I've cracked my thoughts extract
I'm finally living normal time..
