A clock without a minute hand An hourglass without sand Suspended within space and time I walk a thin line Amongst the masses all alone A furnished house with no one home I see through walls that's hard to climb I'm losing my mind No medicaid, no medication Thinking you're better off dead Instead should have been dedicated to education I spin, the cylinder on my revolver I spin, the cylinder Would someone explain who'd leave a dick in charge of a bush Of a colon I'm screwed, saw more war than Warsaw Poland, viewed An infant's insides, outside of his body Inside of a place of worship, ungodly Out cries tears "Dear God, where are we?" That's what I scream towards the skyline but probably No one can hear a word of what I was saying Insurgents surged in the temple where I was praying Now flashbacks wake me abruptly when police pass by Lights flash, if I could only put the past on a flashdrive I'd For peace of mind, install an external drive So I'd be more driven internally to survive I'm...

A clock without a minute hand An hourglass without sand Suspended within space and time I walk a thin line Amongst the masses all alone A furnished house with no one home I can see through walls it's hard to climb I'm losing my- I'm losing my mind
