Time (Jungle) - Wax Poetic, İlhan Erşahin, Saul Williams

And as soon as I learned to tell time

I no longer listened

I was born at 12: 30 in the morning

By 1 AM I was certain that I would no longer remember by past

By 1: 40 I had forgotten my name

By 2: 12 the ancients had bid me farewell

By 2: 30 I had swallowed a foreign grand

By 2: 40 I had begun to hallucinate

It’s all coming back to me

It’s all coming back to me

I met my parent’s spirit guides at 4: 30

It was they who told me of the sun

It was not what I expected

It only seemed to hint at light

By 6: 17 I had decided what I wanted to be

By 6: 18 I had discovered my shell

At 6: 19 I began the process of dying

At 7 o’clock I made an attempt to be perfectly still

And jumped when I felt my soul fission

I jumped when I felt my soul fission

At the moment I learned to tell time

I no longer listened

When I began to tell time I began to no longer listen

I was born at 12: 30 in the morning

By 1 AM I was certain that I would no longer remember by past

By 1: 40 I had forgotten my name

By 2: 12 the ancients had bid me farewell

By 2: 30 I had swallowed a foreign grand

By 2: 40 I had begun to hallucinate

By 6: 17 I had decided what I wanted to be

By 6: 18 I discovered my shell

At 6: 19 I began the process of dying

At 7 o’clock I made an attempt to be perfectly still

And jumped when I felt my soul fission

I jumped when I felt my soul fission
