I Keep Calling |
Verse One: |
Now I can’t even think back. |
Self-induced amnesia has made its impact / |
Mental health produced at leisure was frayed once it was intact / |
I voluntarily refuse to remenisce / |
If I could choose any wish… I'd lose my genesis / |
And prove to my nemesis that I don’t need Memory Lane on my way home / |
But I got lost and I needed a pay phone / |
Because I was in an unsafe zone… inside of a place unknown / |
Where unfamilliar faces roam (…and it’s so strange)… / |
I’ve got no change… I could’ve sworn that I did when I left / |
My breath gets heavy with every lie and theft / |
I looked right and left… then I called people at my home collect / |
To tell them, «Things changed.» |
But they just won’t accept / |
I’m out of range… with no respect. |
Every time I asked for directions / |
All I got was dead air, cut lines, and bad connections / |
People who would help changed their number to unlisted / |
411 info left me unassisted. |
Wickedly twisted… / |
Incidents. |
Is it coincidence? |
I choose to think so / |
Deep in thought, my eyes blink slow. |
Pictures appear like slide shows / |
My mind knows each and every single detail / |
Total recall is leaving me pale / |
Sick to my stomach… nautious…forces of nature bring my homing instinct / |
Its stink… is so distinct… now let me think… a minute / |
Epiphany: This is the much traveled trail from my past / |
Now an unbeaten path… unfunny memories are now making me laugh |
Verse Two: |
Haaaaaa! |
The flashbacks of my past acts are numerous / |
Since out the uterus… Earth encounters ain’t been that humerous / |
Heheheheh… my laugh lines have been faked for the last time / |
I’m past my prime. |
Climaxing again is a task of mine / |
I’m homeward bound. |
Break out the map and atlas / |
I ask gas station attendants… and they just act pissed / |
I’m black listed… for not staying true to white lies / |
I fight lies… in darkness… heartless…until the night dies / |
Then I shed some light on what’s the matter / |
Reflections in the looking glass self scatter when the hard stares make it |
shatter / |
7 years bad luck? |
Time’s irrelevant / |
I’m searching for signs of intelligent minds, but find the element / |
Which blinds what the hell I think. |
Now I’m thinking… / |
«What time is it?» |
I see the 12:00 blinking / |
Check the position… of the sun… to see there is none / |
I figure there’s an eclipse… so I look away to save my wisdom / |
The solar system left me stranded in a universe / |
Where I do reverse psychology. |
Apologies are made through my verse / |
Ain’t nothing to do but curse when I’m frustrated / |
Making people disgusted. |
Plus, I’m mistrusted and hated / |
That’s an understatement, but who really cares about my failure years? |
/ |
I’m on an expedition… following my trail of tears / |
From when I cried, but… it dried up… and vaporized / |
I played your game, so where’s my consalation prize? |
I’m taking lies / |
From faking guys… and gals… who want to be my pals… and peers / |
At this here pace, it’ll take me a thousand years / |
To fins my way back… encompassing what they lack / |
It cost me most of my life, but still I’m thinking about a pay back / |
Decapitated… I lost my head, and fear is activated / |
I’m in a fog. |
My blood, sweat and tears evaporated / |
I back track to find my lost sense of direction / |
Stop, look, and listen… before I cross the intersection / |
There’s much construction. |
I’m signaled with morse code / |
To take a detour. |
Somehow I end up on an off road / |
I squint my eyes… trying to find some street signs / |
I can only read strong thoughts. |
These people have weak minds / |
Trapped in a desert that to me looks like a sandbox / |
With damn NARCS… hold up, son… I'm noticing some landmarks / |
I rack my brain… knowing that I can’t attack in vane / |
Upon return I promised myself not to act the same / |
But every so often my selective screen memory… will be my enemy / |
Metamorphasize and say, «Remember me?» |
/ |
Getting me petro… wish I could kill the retro / |
But heck no… to much of my past I just can’t let go / |
I’m just a stone’s throw away from my home turf… which really is this whole |
earth / |
But claims like that have no worth / |
Epiphany: And then it hits me… the reason why I’m dizzy / |
Is because I’ve been traveling in circles keeping myself busy |
(Where is he?) |
