Chorus

Intro:

Pick up, Pick upPick up, Pick up

Verse One:

Now I can't even think back Self-induced amnesia has made its impact /
Mental health produced at leisure was frayed once it was intact /
I voluntarily refuse to remenisce /
If I could choose any wishI'd lose my genesis /
And prove to my nemesis that I don't need Memory Lane on my way home /
But I got lost and I needed a pay phone /
Because I was in an unsafe zoneinside of a place unknown /
Where unfamilliar faces roam (and it's so strange) /
I've got no changeI could've sworn that I did when I left /
My breath gets heavy with every lie and theft /
I looked right and leftthen I called people at my home collect /
To tell them, "Things changed" But they just won't accept /
I'm out of rangewith no respect Every time I asked for directions /
All I got was dead ai, cut lines, and bad connections /
People who would helo changed their number to unlisted /
411 info left me unassisted Wickedly twisted /
incidents Is it coincidence? I choose to think so /
Deep in thought, my eyes blink slow Pictures appear like slide shows /
My mind knows each and every single detail /
Total recall is leaving me pale /
Sick to my stomachnautiousforces of nature bring my homing instinct /
Its stinkis so distinctnow let me thinka minute /
epiphany: This is the much traveled trail from my past /
Now an unbeaten pathunfunny memories are now making me laugh

Chorus

Verse Two:

Haaaaaa! The flashbacks of my past acts are numerous /
Since out the uterusEarth encounters ain't been that humerous /
hehehehehmy laugh lines have been faked for the last time /
I'm past my prime Climaxing again is a task of mine /
I'm homeward bound Break out the map and atlas /
I ask gas station attendantsand they just act pissed /
I'm black listedfor not staying true to white lies /
I fight liesin darknessheartlessuntil the night dies /
Then I shed some light on what's the matter /
Reflections in the looking glass self scatter when the hard stares make it shatter /
7 years bad luck? Time's irrelevant /
I'm searching for signs of intelligent minds, but find the element /
Which blinds what the hell I think Now I'm thinking /
"What time is it?" I see the 12:00 blinking /
Check the positionof the sunto see there is none /
I figure there's an eclipseso I look away to save my wisdom /
The solar system left me stranded in a universe /
Where I do reverse psychology Apologies are made through my verse /
Ain't nothing to do but curse when I'm frustrated /
Making people disgusted Plus, I'm mistrusted and hated /
That's an understatement, but who really cares about my failure years? /
I'm on an expeditionfollowing my trail of tears /
From when I cried, butit dried upand vaporized /
I played your game, so where's my consalation prize? I'm taking lies /
from faking guysand galswho want to be my palsand peers /
At this here pace, it'll take me a thousand years /
To fins my way backencompassing what they lack /
It cost me most of my life, but still I'm thinking about a pay back /
DecapitatedI lost my head, and fear is activated /
I'm in a fog My blood, sweat and tears evaporated /
I back track to find my lost sense of direction /
Stop, look, and listenbefore I cross the intersection /
There's much construction I'm signaled with morse code /
to take a detour Somehow I end up on an off road /
I squint my eyestrying to find some street signs /
I can only read strong thoughts These people have weak minds /
Trapped in a desert that to me looks like a sandbox /
With damn NARCShold up, sonI'm noticing some landmarks /
I rack my brainknowing that I can't attack in vane /
Upon return I promised myself not to act the same /
But every so often my selective screen memorywill be my enemy /
Metamorphasize and say, "Remember me?" /
Getting me petrowish I could kill the retro /
But heck noto much of my past I just can't let go /
I'm just a stone's throw away from my home turfwhich really is this whole earth /
But claims like that have no worth /
epiphany: And then it hits methe reason why I'm dizzy /
Is because I've been traveling in circles keeping myself busy
(Where is he?)
