Caffeine

Restlessness, 200 heartbeats per minute
Sleeplessness, 40 degrees of fever

A gallon of coffee pumping through my veins
A million questions, no one cares or explains

Pictures of me, pictures of you
Trying to see my way through

Looking at the mirror, blurry face
What's the point of this futile chase?

Someone flick the switch, turn on the light
Scare away confusion, make darkness bright

I need, I want, but what, when and where?
I do not want anything, get away from me there!

No time to lose, no time to wait
How long does it take to turn love into hate?

Pulsating brain, pain in the chest
Throbbing mind, cardiac arrest

Ready to shock? Start over, begin it!
