Funny how I mascaraed,
Up and down those halls,
Putting up a nervous face,
My friends have noticed the Cascades,
That long ago took me away,
I've learned by now,
All I do is keep floating,
And wait for a moment to breathe,
Deep inside my head,
One by one the circuits,
Are turned on,
And out loud they start to buss,
Emotion is my only energy,
Wishing I hadn't started speaking,
So I keep my mouth shut,
Waiting for the rest of you to play along,
And give into the game.
I've been playing my part all along,
But can't you see as I've grown,
Nothing seems to come with me,
All the switches turned on,
When I'm all alone,
Deep inside the dark of my room,
Hide so no one knows,
Shhh if you don't say a thing no one will know,
Isn't the silence nice?
My thoughts so loud I can't even hear that clock,
That goes off at the hour,
Wondering whatever I did,
To become so clouded,
But then again if I stop floating I'll drown.
At the end of the day,
I still have to sleep,
And that is when I don't even have control,
And for some reason, it's bliss for me.
-Joshua Banks
