I remember being told to stand in a corner for a "time out" when I was a kid. I also remember how Bad I wished I could move... Bad thoughts have sent me back to that corner again Corner of my mind Where the things that defeat me created a home They decorate it how they want to Pictures, flowers, furniture As if they are houseguests instead of intruders I'm standing in that corner My face against the wall And I wish I could move The same thing I told myself as a kid Only this time I've done no wrong Why am I backed in this corner? I watch the clock I'm in "time out" And **** it my time's out

Time out
I remember being told to stand in a corner for a "time out" when I was a kid. I also remember how Bad I wished I could move... Bad thoughts have sent me back to that corner again Corner of my mind Where the things that defeat me created a home They decorate it how they want to Pictures, flowers, furniture As if they are houseguests instead of intruders I'm standing in that corner My face against the wall And I wish I could move The same thing I told myself as a kid Only this time I've done no wrong Why am I backed in this corner? I watch the clock I'm in "time out" And **** it my time's out
