Many Apologies

Many apologies
 That was then, this is now embrace the dichotomy
 This is not a song
 This is a poem I gotta get it outta me
 Never gave you my all, though I gave you a lot of me
 Many apologies
 Getting rid of all my demons took more than an exorcism
 Exercise or exorcise, that's therapist or exorcist
 Under duress, it'll test your pride,
 Be stressed, depressed and get-ting sick
 Cuz there is nothing you can do to stop the clock
 Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
 (Yeah)
 You have to face your demons no you cannot shy away
 Don't you dare turn your eyes away
 You're going to have to fight today
 Get off your knees, don't beg don't plead,
 You have no time to cry or pray
 You cannot throw your life away, no,
 That's one hell of a price to pay
 May all your tears be wiped away
 Gotta embrace life, be strong, hold on so tight
 You'll have to be pried away
 You'll find the strength if you dig deep down inside
 That's why you're alive today
 You'll find a way you always have
 Survive the day
 Yeah!
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 Seconds tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
 Even a clock that's been dead ten years plus
 Can be right twice a day hey!
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 I'm the King of my own thoughts
 Gotta Get Well Soon so I isolate
 Hey!
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days, seconds, tick, tick, tick, tick
 (Yeah)

 Sleepwalkers who claim to be woke misspoke,
 They slumber twice a day
 I am an insomniac with no sleep number
 So I'm wide awake
 I wanted love, we were united
 But they only provided hate
 Which left us in a divided state
 I tried and tried but that's my mistake
 Look at their wrinkled faces full of laugh lines
 They try to hide in their images
 You gonna be 0 and 80 growing old and crazy
 Choosing time as a nemesis
 Like a diamond that's shining and glistening,
 Tried to drop a gem but they wasn't listening
 That's just what happens due to factors
 Such as the passage of time and conditioning
 Then something tragic happens that can shatter your faith
 And fracture your innocence
 They don't understand what remorse or forgiveness is
 So they get none of their benefits
 The hierarchy of human needs has six keys
 But they don't mention it
 They say it takes a village
 But they only visit with intentions to pillage it (Yeah)
 That's heresy from a heretic
 You can blame that on our heritage
 We were born with an inherent risk
 Unwarranted, unmerited
 That fact don't fit their narrative
 They say that revenge is best served cold
 Behold we have prepared a dish
 Even a clock that's been dead ten years plus
 Can be right twice a day Hey!
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days,
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days
 I'm the King of my own thoughts,
 Gotta Get Well Soon so I isolate
 Hey!
 Seconds, minutes, hours, days,
 Seconds, tick, tick, tick, tick
 (Yeah)
