In a circle binge of spinning in loops
I'm asked to move and I'm sure I will soon
On a night where there's storms but the T.V. still works
I'm sure there's someone else who is an office clerk
In a hazy fog a brighter light flickers twice
And what that means to me is that I should the roll the dice
And if I leave the next day will my hands work the same?
Or should I just keep up the pace and play along with the game?

Silk smooth and shiny buttons below me
But far brighter moments and poems await me
When I lost my grip and I feel like I'm slipping
I break from this curse and get rid of that feeling

When my mind is away it flutters and flaunts
To a place where they say is the house of the haunts
But a break from this world makes a comeback more strong
And in the delay you'll find a place to belong
In a room that spins around and around
The walls are too thin to be alone with your sounds
A good setting and time can make this process align
To stay in connect with what you think is your prime

Silk smooth and shiny buttons below me
But far brighter moments and poems await me
When I lost my grip and I feel like I'm slipping
I break from this curse and get rid of that feeling

Being back home a new setting and place
A place you may not see the sunlight for days
To pick up the pen is a process and chore
And the buttons that I see are more simple for sure
But in these nearing months you'll see the pen start to move
And the buttons before me I won't stamp approved
A more productive life I can spend on this earth
To make the greatest times a value more than they're worth

Silk smooth and shiny buttons below me
But far brighter moments and poems await me
When I lost my grip and I feel like I'm slipping
I break from this curse and get rid of that feeling

Silk smooth and shiny buttons below me
But far brighter moments and poems await me
When I lost my grip and I feel like I'm slipping
I break from this curse and get rid of that feeling

Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
Silk smooth and shiny (get rid of that feeling)
