* back                                                     * next

Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty....Throughout my very soul

Lost illusions of mind control
Resisting all hope of letting go
Racing impulse of dark desire
Drives me through the night

I try to shut it down...It leaves me in the dust
No matter what I've found...I can never get enough

Frantic actions of insanity...Impulsive laced profanity
Long for elusive serenity...Way out of my control

Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)....Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more....Into the night
Blistering

Focus here, focus there...Cannot see the light
(Falling down through the night)...Sprawling everywhere

Searching left, searching right
(Panic setting in, I can no longer fight)
When will this end?

Accelerate, dislocate
(Set to crash and burn, haven't got time to waste)
Not planning to return

Aggravate, agitate...(When will I ever learn?)
There's no way out of here...Nowhere to turn

Obsessive yearning...Compulsive burning
Still never learning....Insane random thoughts
Of neat disorder

Scattered wasteland surrounding me
Tattered memories of what used to be
Apocalyptic mind debris...Until we meet again

Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)....Out of control
My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more...Into the night....Blistering

Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control....My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Can't stop the wheels from turning

Traveling through both space and time
(You get yours, and I got mine)
Out of control...My wheels in constant motion

Spinning round and round it goes
(I can't let up, I can't let go)
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more...Into the night...Blistering
