Trying to take time out of a ***** and lime, marking out the boundary, sounding out the barkeep,

no time to sleep in the land of the knockdown, seconds out, round two.

Lockdown gets to you, like the ladies who knew you, like the bullets that blew you away.

Mask in place, a straitjacket for the face to hold your emotions in check.
