this is the beat you can't run away from
that infectious dive, the unrelenting jive
of a woman you'll never be free of
thirsty for a drink you'll never be full of
a hospital room that will never be home for
the unending lies of society's watchful eyes
cancerous state of mal-aligned life lessons
but hey hey, it's magic.
a time you can't read on a clock you don't own
a life you can't lead in a world you don't know
in a room full of friends, you stand alone
like the ones before you, this isn't enough
but where can we get going when the going gets rough?
hippocrates sees everything we need
drifting through a microcosm of greed
walking is man's best medicine
the lives we've led and the books we've read in them
