I wondered if I could call in sick
I wiped my fingerprints off the sink
I saw three evil ghosts and tried to stand still
they looked just like white colonists
And they were trying
to conquer my mind
like missionaries
convert indigenous tribes
I wondered
if I was on the brink
I watched the TV
and dealt with it
I watched the language
and tried to sit still
but like all evil
it would persist
Down
there's so much vacancy
sore bones
bleeding feet
Sigh for waiting
my eye is not on you
to leave my camera
and say you're driving
if I'm not found dead
I would be there
but count on raising it on
your working rhymes
words coming trying
I'm working on your wasted time
we make it hard
what's left for fun
Sigh for waiting
my eye is not on you
to leave my camera
and say you're driving
if I'm not found dead
I would be there
but count on raising it on
your working rhymes
words coming trying
I'm working on your wasted time
we make it hard
what's left for fun
