early this morning ni read the paper ni sipped my coffee without a sound nas bombs were dropped on countries nwhose names i can't pronounce nnsometimes life nseems like a cake nslippin' through the layers of illusion that you bake nmy mind is trippin' on these verbs and these nouns ni think i'll take a walk downtown nnweighing me down nthere's something keeping me from going downtown nweighing me down ni'm confused by these scents and these sounds nweighing me down nthese thoughts are weights holding me to the ground nweighing me down ni know that i gotta stick around nnbreathe in the air nthe wind in my hair ncenter of the universe isn't even there ni searched and i looked nthrough libraries of books nhopin' it'd be together like knights and rooks
