Click clack

The mind of a braniac
Riddled with ritalin

Taste that don't waste that
Glass of wine
Escape time
Space out now pace back

Pen never sleeps
Psychoanalyze insomniacs

Click clack

The mind of a scaredy cat
Feared the present so
Regressed to the past

Try closing your eyes...
Reality ripped eye lids

Imagine serenity....
Lonely as an island
And now the sea is rising

Click clack

The mind of a maniac
Lithium addiction

Constant friction in cognition
Searches in the
Same spots twice since
Sanity has gone missing

Trapped out in space
No mission

Now they stare in the mirror
Confusion illicits fear
Thoughts race
Emotional marathon

Click clack
Two Legs
Collapse
One body trembles
Three personalities
Relax

...The safetys on
