• There were eighty-seven Advil in the bottle now there's thirty left I ate forty-seven so what happened to the other ten? Why do you suspiciously change the subject and break my concentration As i dump the bottle out and I count the Advil up again Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thought Have some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Hitting every pocket on my shirt, pants and overcoat I'm hitting them again but I don't know where I put my notes clearing my throat and gripping the lectern I smile and face my audience, clearing his throat and smiling with his hands on the bathroom sink And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall I see stuff through the glass that I don't recognize at all And I'm not done And I wont be till my head falls off Though it may not be a long way off I'm not done talking yet I'm not done talking yet And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall I see the broken figure silhouetted on the wall And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Though it may not be a long way off I won't be till my head falls off Too much knowledge makes a mind go mad. The pills could take that nagging headache away, but why was it so important how many there were? It just was. This is the story of a strong-willed man taking a leap to do what he feels is right, but he know the outcome will not be good for him. He grows more and more nervous as the time comes closer to fire his pistol, whether to the PTA, the Senate, or the world. The anxiety from knowing what he knows is killing him though and making him lose memories and confidence. He has become paranoid that he will be taken away before he gets a chance to speak. But he cannot see clearly anymore, and we can't tell if what he has to say is right or wrong, all that matters is that he still has his endless drive. But will its effect be positive or negative? Will he even have his chance? On a side note, as someone with ADHD and high anxiety, this is like a theme song for me. :P
