[spoken]:

In my darkness

I speak now upon this object of nature

And now upon that

And find it impossible to soothe my restless head

However much I wish it

This perpetual action of mine deprives me almost wholly of sleep 

 

(Buck 65):

I haven't slept, sleep being the cousin of death

And as I lay there awake at night there wasn't a breath

That exited my body that didn't coincide

With the recycled evaluation of feelings that I know inside

Boy Scouts have had their way with my stomach

And a marionette hangs limply from my most important muscle

I simply can't imagine living on the moon

Hope that I can climb my way back to dreamland pretty soon



(Buck 65):

Prosthetic throwing arm, isn't it fantastic?

I won a one way ticket to hell in a handbasket

It seems like I got it made, and then I begin to feel

Like I'd give up all my winnings for another chance to spin the wheel

I don't know if I have a prayer or a hope in heaven

All I know is that I'm afraid to read my horoscope

It makes me wanna holler or at least let out a yell

I'd give up my next life if I thought that it would help

I don't wanna play no more, I just wanna get to sleep

Cuz most likely sleep will let me forget about the other people 

That haven't been able to make me stop feeling

Like demons are hiding behind the walls and in the ceiling

My catcher always told me you can't hit what you can't see

Your absence actually aggravates my fancy

And my own stubble tickles me and irritates my sensitive skin

I'm surprised at how uninventive I've been 

I'm frozen, but my mind's made up and I've chosen

To lock the door behind the next person that goes in

Raindrops keep falling on my cheeks

And on my trusty little halo over my head, and so it's getting rusty

I've been poked by so many fingers

That getting poked by fingers don't bother me no mo'

I feel like a jellyfish, uncephalized, uncivilized

Unspecified, unspecialized

Currents carry me, my own endurance buries me

Deterrents make me weary, so I wear this ring for reassurance

Currents carry me, my own endurance buries me

Deterrents make me weary, so I wear this ring for reassurance
