Grand Mal

I believe in the shiver that comes in and takes over

I don't wait till it's over

I bathe in its waves

To the sea from the river

I'm swept and pulled under

I will never recover

I won't be the same

It can happen whenever

I don't hold the lever

The shiver that severs

The heart from the brain

And it burns through the tethers

On electrical pathways

It hangs me up halfways

Between heaven and plain

And from here, I see clearly

Across rolling meadows

Around the Earth, curving

And surging in pain

It's the circle that holds me

A wedding ring rolling

Across a black table

On a wedding day
