Dulcius ex asperis

Through Difficulty Sweetness

I’m in need of some kind of head examination.

Put me under sedation

There’s too much going on in there for me

And when you pull all the bad parts out.

Just give out with a little shout.

And leave those bits there for me to see.

 

Because I’ve got a sandstorm

Winds pulling my brain apart.

Because I’ve got a thunderstorm.

It makes it too loud for me to think.

Oh-yeah, I’ve got a sandstorm

Winds pulling my brain apart.

And-yes, I’ve got a thunderstorm

It makes it too loud for me to think.

 

I’m a captain on the water simply needing a heading.

We’ll never see shore they’re betting.

There’s not a shore out there, not one for me.

I’ve already cast the anchor out.

I can only give out with a little shout.

And the grey clouds are all I can see.

 

Because I’ve got a sandstorm

Winds pulling my brain apart.

Because I’ve got a thunderstorm.

It makes it too loud for me to think

Oh yeah, I’ve got a sandstorm.

Winds pulling my brain apart.

I’ve also got a thunderstorm

That makes it too loud for me to think.

 

I’m thrown into the air.

I’m tossed up from the waves.

My brain shatters into a million pieces.

I’m thrown into the air.

Is there no one I can save?

These lives shattered into a million pieces.

Please let there be something.

Please let there be something.

Please let there be something.

Let there be somewhere for me.

 

Because I’ve got a sandstorm

Winds pulling my brain apart.

Because I’ve got a thunderstorm.

It makes it too loud for me to think

Oh yeah, I’ve got a sandstorm.

Winds pulling my brain apart.

I’ve also got a thunderstorm

That makes it too loud for me to think.

You really captured a mood there, and then passed it on to the reader. I was riding the waves while reading this. Great poem.

I think this is also one of my favorites of yours!!! Very lyrical and catchy!!
"I'm in need of some kind of head examination.
Put me under sedation

I love the thunder and sand storms metaphor for what's plaguing your head!!

I think this has some underlying messages to it and i love that fact. I think it can apply to a lot of people,which is a good thing to do as a writer.

I like the windstorm and sandstorm idea happening to your brain/head =]
