Schizophrenic

The tick of the clock and the coo of the chime

We even forgot our own name

Dismembered the frame of the eerie sublime 

We even forgot our own name

Exclaimed unto no one the horror of pains

We even forgot our own name

Destroyed the old bird, mashing up its remains 

We even forgot our own name

A day or a moment; a month or a year 

We even forgot our own name

A chalice upon it has crumbled in fear

We even forgot our own name

Exposing the gears and the metal within

We even forgot our own name

A pile of the cuckoo just sits now; a grin

We even forgot our own name

And now in the mirror we look at just one

We even forgot our own name

As two, maybe three, or some more, never done

We even forgot our own name

The doctor has entered; the scene goes away

We even forgot our own name

The medicine helps, but my thoughts cannot stay 

We even forgot our own name

"So, Steven, how are you? Do you recognize 

The meaning of what I just said?"

And just for a moment, in clarity's guise

All voices desist in my head

And when he is gone and the pills meet the flush 

Remarkably, I play the game 

Again in the mirror, I welcome the rush

We even forgot our own name ...
