It Started in the Back of My Head Lyrics

Yeah it started in the back my head

A loose understanding of time

Notions of poetry percolating

Coalescing into words

With meaning only I know

I know

A primal rhythm emerged

Swelling guts into explosive words

My friends understood the feeling

They could gather up the meaning

I didn't have to explain

When Vienna showed up in my brain

They knew exactly what I was saying

But in a century I never anticipated

The pain

It started in the back of my head

A disaster in the ocean of time

There was trouble spilling over the edge

But I had to complete the rhyme

Those sweet guitar tones

Tear the air apart

Those amps were sounding like the stars

It was daylight at Woodstock

Tens of thousands would flock

Yeah it started in the back of my head

The Tragic life ahead

Into infinite skies I would climb

My friends are there holding it high

I didn't have to explain

When Vienna showed up in my brain

They knew exactly what I was saying

But in a century I never anticipated

The pain

It wasn't that special, don't you see?

ay-geon

a-tion

It's just a rhyme

You'll be running a long time to be

An HD documentary

Now it's growing in the front of my head

A violet lump I'm afraid it's new

Ask a poet how they handle the news

It's with words

And grace, too
