arise! awake! but be still
and feel the lonely beat
lub dub lub dub
counting on the out
and trying not to crawl
out of your own skin
hear a step
open an eye
take a breath
stare the demon down
burning both sides
of a wax philosophic
drip drip drip
stinging puddles fly
and harden hearts
with silly sayings
see the past
feel the present
give the future
take the demon down
countdown barking loud
buzzing with excitement
tick tock
now's the time
hit the high c
and leave it be
sound the alarm
turn that down
cut me up
run the demon down
