Brain On Fire by The Leaf Litter Lullaby Project

A song collected from the damp earth. A fragile boundary between calm and chaos.

Lyrics:

Need to feel the ground against my skin
Because I know it is about to begin
Sudden bursts of erratic emotion
Send my body into a violent commotion

My heart is moving through its walls
Ribcage cracks and the catastrophic falls
The colours blend and flicker in with time
My brains on fire but I said that I'd be fine

When it starts, I collapse onto the floor
Muscles tense and I feel nothing more
Feels like forever is with us in the room
As I hear you say it will all be over soon

My heart is moving through its walls
Ribcage cracks and the catastrophic falls
The colours blend and flicker in with time
My brains on fire but I said that I'd be fine

Nurses surround in a swarm over me
Oxygen tubes down my throat trying to help me breathe
Contract and release it just won't stop
give me some peace or my heart is going to pop

My heart is moving through its walls
Ribcage cracks and the catastrophic falls
The colours blend and flicker in with time
My brains on fire but I'll be fine
