"Ruminator" (Early Internet) Aerolitos (59)

30/3/24

I’ll ruminate from dusk to dawn
Til the panic’s gone
Til the panic’s gone
I’ll place a bet, mind races on
Mind races
My mind races
You stake a claim and call my name
I’ll come sprinting
I’ll come sprinting
Is it safe to stay?
I speculate
Still picking up what we’re missing

You could do the right thing, baby
You could do the right thing

Our patron saint of patience waits
A long time for a lifeline
I’m left spinning plates until this shakes
It’s killing me
You’re giving me
A false sense of hope
How does one cope?
In the meantime, here’s your lifeline
It’s the awkward shrug pulling out the rug
Falling in and out of love is a hard drug

You could do the right thing, baby
You could do the right thing

Gonna take my head for a spin
The wheels come off
And fear sets in

Tripwire, tripwire, tripwire your brain’s under siege
The panic stops
The fear retreats
When you’re next to me
When you’re next to me

Your ruminator will linger on
Your ruminator will linger on
Your ruminator will linger on
Your ruminator will linger on
