To the Hungry Ouroboros

Chew me up Spit me out Just spit me out If you know how I’ve had enough You’ve had enough There’s nothing left But fear and doubt I’m tired Of all the hissing All the joy That I’m missing Can’t hear Over the rumbling Your hunger Always doubling Dark thoughts they flood my mind Why must they be so unkind? The inner snake That mind snake It's gnawing from both ends “Let us eat” I hear you say “Let us feast” I must obey A hissing dream Your subtle sway You slithered in And you’re here to stay I’m tired Of all the hissing All the joy That I’m missing Can’t hear Over the rumbling Your hunger Always doubling Dark thoughts they flood my mind Why must they be so unkind? The inner snake That mind snake It's gnawing from both ends Ouroboros of the mind Leaving me blind I wanna find a solution Find a way to unwind But I keep getting consumed Keep falling behind An emotional mess ‘Cause all I think about is stress All I think about is stress Dark thoughts they flood my mind Why must they be so unkind? The inner snake That mind snake It's gnawing from both ends The Ouroboros of the mind Eating all that it finds An awful snake That I cannot shake It's gnawing from both ends
