Shake
[Lyrics stolen from Ben Visini's Bandcamp]
Verse 1:
I'm constantly moving
It's all I have that keeps me functional
Endlessly looping
The back and forth is inexorable
Keeps the focus clear and straight
To be there, come what may
Chorus:
Knowing what's at stake
Mistakes I might make
Makes me shake
It makes me shake
Every word that's said
A battle in my head
What was heard versus what I meant to say
It's absurd to live this way
Ease the tension with a leg shake
Verse 2:
My heart is racing
It seems to know before I understand
The stress I'm facing
Reflex that kicks in when I’m out of hand
A kinetic lullaby
Rocks my soul goodnight
Chorus:
Knowing what's at stake
Mistakes I might make
Makes me shake
It makes me shake
Every word that's said
A battle in my head
What was heard versus what I meant to say
It's absurd to live this way
Ease the tension with a leg shake
Bridge:
My life's an incomprehensible mess
Seems like the best way to relieve some stress
It's all I can do to not feel powerless
To not succumb to nervousness
Chorus:
Knowing what's at stake
Mistakes I might make
Makes me shake
It makes me shake
Every word that's said
A battle in my head
What was heard versus what I meant to say
It's absurd to live this way
Ease the tension with a leg shake
