Many apologies
That was then, this is now embrace the dichotomy
This is not a song
This is a poem I gotta get it outta me
Never gave you my all, though I gave you a lot of me
Many apologies
Getting rid of all my demons took more than an exorcism
Exercise or exorcise, that's therapist or exorcist
Under duress, it'll test your pride,
Be stressed, depressed and get-ting sick
Cuz there is nothing you can do to stop the clock
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
(Yeah)
You have to face your demons no you cannot shy away
Don't you dare turn your eyes away
You're going to have to fight today
Get off your knees, don't beg don't plead,
You have no time to cry or pray
You cannot throw your life away, no,
That's one hell of a price to pay
May all your tears be wiped away
Gotta embrace life, be strong, hold on so tight
You'll have to be pried away
You'll find the strength if you dig deep down inside
That's why you're alive today
You'll find a way you always have
Survive the day
Yeah!
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Seconds tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Even a clock that's been dead ten years plus
Can be right twice a day hey!
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
I'm the King of my own thoughts
Gotta Get Well Soon so I isolate
Hey!
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, seconds, tick, tick, tick, tick
(Yeah)

Sleepwalkers who claim to be woke misspoke,
They slumber twice a day
I am an insomniac with no sleep number
So I'm wide awake
I wanted love, we were united
But they only provided hate
Which left us in a divided state
I tried and tried but that's my mistake
Look at their wrinkled faces full of laugh lines
They try to hide in their images
You gonna be 0 and 80 growing old and crazy
Choosing time as a nemesis
Like a diamond that's shining and glistening,
Tried to drop a gem but they wasn't listening
That's just what happens due to factors
Such as the passage of time and conditioning
Then something tragic happens that can shatter your faith
And fracture your innocence
They don't understand what remorse or forgiveness is
So they get none of their benefits
The hierarchy of human needs has six keys
But they don't mention it
They say it takes a village
But they only visit with intentions to pillage it (Yeah)
That's heresy from a heretic
You can blame that on our heritage
We were born with an inherent risk
Unwarranted, unmerited
That fact don't fit their narrative
They say that revenge is best served cold
Behold we have prepared a dish
Even a clock that's been dead ten years plus
Can be right twice a day Hey!
Seconds, minutes, hours, days,
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
I'm the King of my own thoughts,
Gotta Get Well Soon so I isolate
Hey!
Seconds, minutes, hours, days,
Seconds, tick, tick, tick, tick
(Yeah)
