The world is stagnant, but I'm running fast, I'm running mad
 How can I sleep softly in a crib 
when there are no worthy arms to cradle me 
And protect me from my self-injurious rib

? I pass toy soldiers on the street
 Craving for contact but failing to meet
 The eyes of one who means no deceit 
Who's touch and taste sings more sweet
 than that of a mouth-watering, mind water-boarding treat

Toy Soldiers
The world is stagnant, but I'm running fast, I'm running mad
 How can I sleep softly in a crib 
when there are no worthy arms to cradle me 
And protect me from my self-injurious rib

? I pass toy soldiers on the street
 Craving for contact but failing to meet
 The eyes of one who means no deceit 
Who's touch and taste sings more sweet
 than that of a mouth-watering, mind water-boarding treat
