My brain can never stop
From the bottom to the top
A hundred thousand things to do
My body's calm, but my mind's running through
He's playing with the kids
He's flipping off the lids
God forbids
I relax
I'm smiling, I'm serene
A domestic queen
A beautiful machine
He says"you should rest now"
He doesn't see how
The chaos in my brow
He says"you look tired
You seem a million miles away"
Not seeing that my brain is LAX on a busy day
The dentist, is cleared for landing now
The grocery list, is taking off somehow
And,"what's for dinner tomorrow night?"
Is circling overhead with no solution in sight
My brain can never stop
From the bottom to the top
A hundred thousand things to do
My body's calm, but my mind's running through
The laundry isn't done
The permission slip is one
Day late, I have to run
Pay the phone bill
The cat has a pill
My own iron will
Is starting to rust
My deepest, darkest trust
Is turning to dust
Yesterday, I almost forgot to pack the snacks for the school trip
One moment of distraction, one careless little slip
And I felt the panic, the cold and ugly kind
The one that says without you, everything's left behind
It isn't power, it's a life sentence, you see
To be the only hard drive for the whole damn family
My brain can never stop
From the bottom to the top
A hundred thousand things to do
My body's calm, but my mind's running through
At night when we're in bed
The silence in my head
Is filled with dread instead
He's breathing, fast asleep
While I am in the deep
And I just want to weep
I plan the coming week
So I don't have to speak
About how I'm so weak
Love isn't flowers, or the presents
Or the praise, it's knowing
That there's toilet paper for the next three days
It's a job that's never over, a clock that never stops
A list of little worries and emotional flops
I am the operating system of this entire place
And nobody ever wonders if there's a button to erase
My brain will never stop
From the bottom to the top
A hundred thousand things to do
My body's sleeping, but my mind's screaming through
