Mental Masturbation
My own mental masturbation
It keeps me from going insane
Is there anybody out there?
Is what Pink Floyd has asked today
I do feel comfortably numb
Just weeding my garden each day
My dry lips silently moving
Reciting old mistakes I've made
Thinking myself rather twisted
But, in a harmless sort of way
An impatient hunger I have
As if I'm running a bit late
Searching for the true path to take
Tripping over others egos
Pushing my life to the limit
While remaining here in my place
Older and even more confused
Mental masturbation, that's me
