I Keep Calling Songtext

Chorus

Intro:

Pick up, Pick up... Pick 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 wish... I'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 zone... inside of a place unknown /
Where unfamilliar faces roam (...and it's so strange)... /
I've got no change... I could′ve sworn that I did when I left /
My breath gets heavy with every lie and theft /
I looked right and left... then I called people at my home collect /
To tell them, "Things changed." But they just won′t accept /
I'm out of range... with 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 stomach... nautious... forces of nature bring my homing instinct /
Its stink... is so distinct... now let me think... a minute /
Epiphany: This is the much traveled trail from my past /
Now an unbeaten path... unfunny memories are now making me laugh.

Chorus

Verse Two:


Haaaaaa! The flashbacks of my past acts are numerous /
Since out the uterus... Earth encounters ain′t been that humerous /
Heheheheh... my 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 attendants... and they just act pissed /
I'm black listed... for not staying true to white lies /
I fight lies... in darkness... heartless... until 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 position... of the sun... to see there is none /
I figure there′s an eclipse... so 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 expedition... following my trail of tears /
From when I cried, but... it dried up... and vaporized /
I played your game, so where′s my consalation prize? I'm taking lies /
From faking guys... and gals... who want to be my pals... and peers /
At this here pace, it'll take me a thousand years /
To fins my way back... encompassing what they lack /
It cost me most of my life, but still I′m thinking about a pay back /
Decapitated... I 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 listen... before 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 eyes... trying 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 NARCS... hold up, son... I'm noticing some landmarks /
I rack my brain... knowing that I can′t attack in vane /
Upon return I promised myself not to act the same /
But every so often my selective screen memory... will be my enemy /
Metamorphasize and say, "Remember me?" /
Getting me petro... wish I could kill the retro /
But heck no... to much of my past I just can't let go /
I′m just a stone's throw away from my home turf... which really is this whole earth /
But claims like that have no worth /
Epiphany: And then it hits me... the reason why I'm dizzy /
Is because I′ve been traveling in circles keeping myself busy.
(Where is he?)
