POE - Terrible Thought lyrics

Like an unwanted room-mate drunk on wine

It feeds on my unhapiness, won't pay the rent

I must take proper measures to evict it

A terrible thought has moved into my mind

A giant rat that's nibbling on my pride

It's tearing away my patience and my wits

I must take proper measures to set a trap for it

What a terrible thought

I don't care what you've done

I don't care who you've won

I know in the end, you have your fun, but you can't have it here,

And I won't let you steer,

You know I don't want you in my mind

What a terrible thought

What a terrible, terrible thought

I must stay calm you know and I must be clear

It's gonna take a hundred thoughts to make this one disappear

A train like that can travel a soul for years

A terrible thought can have a terribly long career

What minds have you shredded

I bet they regretted

Having ever thought you up

Just look at you shine

Commiting your crimes

You know I don't want you in my mind

'Cause you're breaking my stride

You poisonous vine

You're strangling me inside

You're breaking my stride

You poisonous vine

You're strangling me inside

You're breaking my stride

What a terrible thought...

Father :

What is your greatest worry because

you seem to be worried all the time

Daughter:

Sometimes I can't hear myself think

Father:

YYou have to speak a little louder,

I can't understand a word you're saying

Daughter :

Sometimes I can't hear myself think
