Analysis of Restless
Restless as I toss and turn. So many emotions thoughts whirlwind around my mind, waves batter my logic brain receptors battle the heart; warm blood sending tingles and rigid burst down the neck between my shoulders around my spine through the vascular to the chest.
In the silence flashbacks of nostalgic memories, and conversation snippets and longplay repeat.
One of these nights where I miss my Wis to the point of no sleep, thoughts get deep
Silence gets loud, and the body cold; no heat from your body or feet sinking in the sheets ain't the same, I toss turn yawn turn toss wrapped in comfortable isolation am I being strong or weak? The fake scream strong when weakness is really meek, uncomfortable me fighting me instead of saying asking bae come lay with me!
My imagination's tormenting me I hear your voice turn to see your face, but you're nowhere near. I thought caught a glimpse of you in the mirror, did a double take the image disappeared like smoke evaporates my love I need you near reduced to tears. Restless, I toss and turn yearning long for you instead I'm left with the sum of all my fears!
