My Nostalgic Noggin

Help me, I’m hopeless
Again, I’m feeling distress
You won’t knock me down
By your frown…your frown…

Help me, I’m helpless
Again, I’m feeling like a mess
You don’t need to hurt me so
By your ways of woe…woe…

Stream of tears roll down, down
My eyes…my eyes…I cry aloud
I shake and shake up in this town
Stream of hopes and fears seep through the crowd
Crawling inside my cranium
Is this feeling of numb
Crawling inside my cranium
Is this feeling of dumb
Stream of desires, graces and glories is my cup of rum

Help me, I’m making less progress
Again, I’m feeling too much stress
You won’t drag me down once more
You won’t allow me not to soar by feeling sore

Help me, I’m helpless
Again, I’m feeling like a mess
You don’t need to hurt me so
By your ways of woe…woe…

Stream of tears roll down, down
My eyes…my eyes…I cry aloud
I shake and shake up in this town
Stream of hopes and fears seep through the crowd
Crawling inside my cranium
Is this feeling of numb
Crawling inside my cranium
Is this feeling of dumb
Stream of desires, graces and glories is my cup of rum

You need to relax and be with me, be with me 
We melt like wax in the sun of vivacious vanity
It’s a gift or a curse that you’re safe and sound
It’s a miracle or a tragedy in reverse to feel gravity-bound
Help me, I’m feeling too much emotion
Due to the many people and noise around me
I can’t stand the constant commotion
Dealing with feelings that are profound frankly

Help me, I’m helpless
Again, I’m feeling like a mess
You don’t need to hurt me so
By your ways of woe…woe…

Stream of tears roll down, down
My eyes…my eyes…I cry aloud
I shake and shake up in this town
Stream of hopes and fears seep through the crowd
Crawling inside my cranium
Is this feeling of numb
Crawling inside my cranium
Is this feeling of dumb
Stream of desires, graces and glories is my cup of rum

Nostalgic night is barreling in my noggin 
I’m taming this fire of desire from within
Feelings of pure calm is worn like lip balm 
Upon my ever-shaking, yet gently soft palm
