Walking talking contradiction

 

Counter clockwise rhythm

has got you dancing to a different beat

your body and mind moves forward

while you heart and soul retreat

you talk small think big

while you dig your own grave

while trying to save others

brother slow down

you act like a superhero clown

while laughing crying and wearing a frown

people can’t tell whether your up or down

you go off on tangents that strangle

and tie you up from every angle

with string from God the puppet masters thread

you want to be alive when your dead

and to be dead when your alive

you strive to be perfect

but your imperfections make you human

your wishing to be made a new man

but your too old too young

life stings you and your stung

with every affliction

every restriction in your head

slow down

slow down

it can’t be all that bad

but that’s what happens when your mad!
