Information Overload

from Suburban Child by John Greska

lyrics

Information Overload
God my brain is tired
I wish it was empty but
That's not how I'm wired

Looking in the mirror is
This what I desired
How can one be filled with dreams
And yet so uninspired

Information Overload
Pounding in my head
So much left to do
So I do nothing instead

Looking at the future
Was there something I misread
Maybe I was wrong to hope for
Peace up ahead

Information Overload
Sometimes I just freeze
Thoughts about the next bring
Me right to me knees

All the possibilities
Dead ends where they lead
Information Overload
Stop


Just take a moment
You're your own harshest opponent
Doesn't matter how fast you're growing
Don't ache
Don't break

Just take a second
As the pulsing starts to deaden
Walk away from armageddon
Don't ache
Don't break
You're doing great


Information Overload
God my brain is tired
I wish it was empty but
That's not how I'm wired

Looking in the mirror is
This what I desired
How can one be filled with dreams
And yet so uninspired

Information Overload
Pounding in my head
So much left to do
So I do nothing instead

Looking at the future
Was there something I misread
Maybe I was wrong to hope for
Peace up ahead


I toss and I turn
As I wait for my mind to return
From its journey
Riding a mental gurney
I'm burning my candle at both ends
And the story I've penned
Begins to overextend
It's pages ending
Energy spending
But in the end I feel there's more to do
But I don't have a clue
How to shrink my field of view
The idea overdoing
Storm is brewing
Stuck in the glue
And I just want to sleep
Tired of counting sheep
Circadian rhythm is laughing at me
My head is reeling
Staring up at the ceiling

But I feel the calm is coming back
Finding the peace I lack
In a cranial haystack
It's a bit nerve-wracking
Gotta get cracking
Stay on track with comfort found in the yaw
Plans are made as a guideline
Not as a law
No hem and hawing
Or thoughtful longing
Can you stop you drawing
A lousy losing hand
Go all in and make it grand
Prepare for the energy pod crash-landing
Nervous system standing still
So I can try sorting out my mind
Even if I am a little behind
If the road is winding
I'll keep finding
Dopa-"mine" no matter what the information overload


Information Overload
God my brain is tired
I wish it was empty but
That's not how I'm wired

Looking in the mirror is
This what I desired
How can one be filled with dreams
And yet so uninspired

Information Overload
Sometimes I just freeze
Thoughts about the next bring
Me right to me knees

All the possibilities
Dead ends where they lead
Information Overload
Stop


Just take a moment
You're your own harshest opponent
Doesn't matter how fast you're growing
Don't ache
Don't break

Just take a second
As the pulsing starts to deaden
Walk away from armageddon
Don't ache
Don't break
You're doing great
