POE - Terrible Thought lyrics

rate me

Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine

It feeds on my happiness won't pay the rent

I must take proper measures to evict it

A terrible thought has moved into my mind

A giant rat that's nibbling on my pride

It's tearing away my patience and my wit

I must take proper measures set a trap for it

What a terrible thought

I don't care what you've done

I don't care who you've won

I know in the end you'll have your fun

But you can't have it hear

And I won't let you steer

You know I don't want you in my mind

I must stay calm you know and I must be clear

It's gonna take a hundred thoughts to make this one disappear

A train like that could travel a soul for years

A terrible thought could have a terribly long career

What minds have you shredded

I bet they regretted

Having ever thought you up

Just look at you shine

Commiting your crimes

You know I don't want you in my mind

'Cause you're breaking my stride

You poisonous vine

You're strangling me inside

You're breaking my stride

You poisonous vine

You're strangling me inside

You're breaking my stride

What a terrible thought...

Father :

What is your greatest worry because you seem to be worried all the time

Daughter:

Sometimes I can't hear myself think

Father:

YYou have to speak a little louder,

I can't understand a word you're saying

Daughter :

Sometimes I can't hear myself think
