Poetic Podcast Episode 9 Bop

Man. This situation's claustrophobic
I just can't deal with it right now;
I've got no patience to even think,
there's no outlet for what I'm feeling;
If I were a bomb I'd be nuclear
laying waste to everything inside me;

I'm uncomfortable,
get me out of my own skin;

Guts and glory are going to escape
I won't ever really settle down;
Time doesn't matter it just slows 
into a desire to run with scissors,
pointy edge directed at myself;
Temper tantrum cuts into fleeting 
a change ends all that pain; 
I stab myself in all my vitals;

I'm uncomfortable,
get me out of my own skin;

'Go through it maybe learn from it.'
It takes so long to gain those years;
Impulsive as hell now you can't go back.
You're more than that current emotional state;
Inner peace is something that grows, 
at times we will always be overwhelmed. 

I'm uncomfortable,
get me out of my own skin.
