When my mind has a thought
That was caught
In the river that runs through my head,
When it catches a snag and sticks around full of dread,
I hold it in my hands and stop breathing,
My heart ceases beating, while my mind is retreating
From a threat that is fleeting,
I'm begging and pleading
For my body to let me take a breath
Let me catch my breath.
