For a challenge on the TRA discord server. Use either Eme's lyrics or Ex's instrumental I chose Eme's lyrics and added some of my own magic --------------------------------------------- Hush now— slow down— let the room go dim. Just for a minute, let the noise fall in. Do you ever zone out? Mute the world a bit? Stuck between thinking You can't seem to sit? I try to fold the day up neat, like it won’t spill again— but it keeps waking up in me when I lay down. Breathe in— slow. Breathe out— slow. If I can keep my hands still, maybe my mind will go. I want it empty inside my head. I want it blank inside my head. Wish I had nothing there inside my head. Wish that were true. My mind doesn't doesn't shut off. There's always something something there. I rock the seconds back and forth, like a lullaby I knew— but the moment I get quiet, it comes back through. Some nights I almost make it— almost drift, almost gone— then a thought lights up the hallway and the whole house turns on. I try to name the feeling soft, so it won’t bite so hard— but it stacks into a story I can’t discard. Breathe in— slow. Breathe out— slow. Tell my heart it’s safe to rest, even if my mind won’t. I want it empty inside my head. I want it blank inside my head. Wish I had nothing there inside my head. Wish that were true. Can't can't let it go. There's a list. There's a plan. There's a task. I must do it all. There's no time. There's no room. There's no mind. There’s a clock in the corner with its bright little stare— counting out my life in minutes, like I’m late everywhere. There's a list. There's a plan. There's a task. I must do it all. There's no time. There's no room. There's no mind. I want it empty inside my head. I want it blank inside my head. Wish I had nothing there inside my head. Wish that were true. My mind doesn't doesn't shut off. There's always something something there inside my head.
