I was lost inside my speed
  drugged mind hoping for calm
  but all I got was lost in Oz,
  a shrink's chair with no exits.
  I jumped from mountains of lies
  and fell into the truth's grave.
  I settle for lesser compromise.
  I'm saved by a clock's loud tick
  death's second hand metronome
  keeping track of all our lives.
Another version.

            Heartbeat

  I was lost inside my speed
  ****** mind hoping for calm
  but all I got was lost in Oz,
  a shrink's couch with no exits.
  I jump from mountains of lies
  and fall into the truth's grave
  where at last I finally realize
  with my heartbeat I will save.
