Little Man in My Mind

[Verse] A little man dances where shadows collide, Between the tick of the clock and the dream’s ebb tide. He whispers secrets, smoke spirals from his tongue, Chained to my synapse, his rebellion begun. A prison of neurons, he pounds at the walls, Echoes in my skull like abandoned hall calls. [Chorus] Little man, little man, scratching to flee, Caught in the liminal, won’t let him be. He’s screaming, he’s scheming, a ghost in my dome, Little man, little man, won’t leave me alone. [Verse 2] His voice is a static, my brain’s TV snow, Fingers like cobwebs, pulling threads I don’t know. He’s a rebel, a riot, a spark in my haze, A riddle unsolved in my half-waking maze. His feet tap-tap on the bridge of my nose, A dancer on the tightrope where the dreamworld glows. [Bridge] He rides the edge of the REM skyline, A pirate of thought, stealing moments from time. He’s the whisper when the room is too still, The tickle of doubt that bends iron will. But I feel him breaking, the fissures run deep, A jailbreak brewing when I’m half-asleep. [Chorus] Little man, little man, scratching to flee, Caught in the liminal, won’t let him be. He’s screaming, he’s scheming, a ghost in my dome, Little man, little man, won’t leave me alone. [Outro] Smoke rises, his form fades to mist, An outlaw in my head, by shadows kissed. One day he’ll escape, leave my mind ajar, But for now, he’s trapped where the dreamers spar. Little man, little man, locked in my mind, A prisoner of the space where waking unwinds.
