Poem: I''m crazy
You know, a man on a hangman''s noose
Fright lives in my bone marrow
Jacob fighting God face to face
Limping away with his pharmaceuticals
Soma and Oxycodone
Just another mutilated man of suffering
Never dead to my torment
I cry to be loose of my birth
Enough out of the broken rhyme
My clock is losing time
Running away lives in my veins
It''s a hostile time in the world
And I''m a sensory gauge
Every limb electric
From the Ice House and County Jail
I''m a vomiting machine
Dragging my ball and chain
Intuitional eyesight
Song drags on in midday sun
Don''t want a cross
Just a noose
I''ve always been a sick bandit
Rage is my age
Stage is naked
And the audience is gone...
