The body cannot live without the mind
Cups full of caffeine
Drugs kept us dashing
Lungs took a lashing
Sun left a lasting
Stains on our skin
Reflect the pain within
Would you do it again?
Was is spoken into existence?
This hopelessness is persistent
Focus on the hocus until our vision switches
Dope us on the locusts until we listen
My index leaves indents, my arm is sore
But inspect my missteps, I'm on course
All aboard, the fall is sure
They're calling for an encore
Rumination
I lose the day when
I choose to stay in
My shoes are vacant
I'm not obliged by any law
To stay confined within these halls
But I'm resigned to be enthralled by the walls
I'm in yesterdays clothes
In the midst of todays woes
With a good guess for how tomorrow goes
Cups full of caffeine
Drugs kept us dashing
Lungs took a lashing
Sun left a lasting
Stains on our skin
Reflect the pain within
Would you do it again?
Sick with doom
Sit entombed
Lick with my wounds
Still it looms
Thread by thread, I fall apart
The threat of death, a call to arms
In a bed of sweat
I'm stalled in the dark
Put down your pistol I'm already on fire
Wound round with wire
Countdown until I expire
Start at three, skip to one
And I'm done
