Lyrics Time (Jungle) - Wax Poetic, İlhan Erşahin, Saul Williams

Time (Jungle)

And as soon as I learned to tell time
I no longer listened
I was born at 12: 30 in the morning
By 1 AM I was certain that I would no longer remember by past
By 1: 40 I had forgotten my name
By 2: 12 the ancients had bid me farewell
By 2: 30 I had swallowed a foreign grand
By 2: 40 I had begun to hallucinate
It’s all coming back to me
It’s all coming back to me
I met my parent’s spirit guides at 4: 30
It was they who told me of the sun
It was not what I expected
It only seemed to hint at light
By 6: 17 I had decided what I wanted to be
By 6: 18 I had discovered my shell
At 6: 19 I began the process of dying
At 7 o’clock I made an attempt to be perfectly still
And jumped when I felt my soul fission
I jumped when I felt my soul fission
At the moment I learned to tell time
I no longer listened
When I began to tell time I began to no longer listen
I was born at 12: 30 in the morning
By 1 AM I was certain that I would no longer remember by past
By 1: 40 I had forgotten my name
By 2: 12 the ancients had bid me farewell
By 2: 30 I had swallowed a foreign grand
By 2: 40 I had begun to hallucinate
By 6: 17 I had decided what I wanted to be
By 6: 18 I discovered my shell
At 6: 19 I began the process of dying
At 7 o’clock I made an attempt to be perfectly still
And jumped when I felt my soul fission
I jumped when I felt my soul fission
