time is ticking on the wall
ticking ticking ticking ticking

systems check
all A.O.K.

heart rate - blood pressure
respiration growing stronger

the walls - floor - stucco ceiling
still the same but somehow different

together scream out a silent message
too late now to reverse directions

first rush sweeping over you
set off balance - look around

the second time there’s no mistaking it
you’re still the same but changing rapidly

there’s a time bomb ticking in your head
ticking ticking ticking ticking

systems check - all out of control
time for lysergic overload
