Streams of Consciousness

A flood of thoughts
I find myself thinking them over 
Rather religiously

They get caught up in the flood sometimes
And spill out without a warning sign

And it all rains down in piles 
Like an ocean brought to life 

And since when is being sober 
Just not worth our time?

We're putting in the miles 
Without a statement to return with 
 
And we're practicing the lies 
In which we'll tell 
to blur the line 
Between intuition and confusion

Are we making forward progress
To a proper state of mind?
I feel as though we're backtracking 
Is this our warning sign?

And it all rains down in piles
