Lie Still Paroles

glimpse of the sky
high above me
through the wire glass
i recall a
time when i would run
before they took
my reason away

let me lie
use my device
of disguise
let me lie still

i look at the wall
and practice my face of innocence
a knife from a nail
to measure my strength against
again

i recall the and i flip through magazines
in the waiting room
of my memory

let me lie
use my device
of disguise
let me lie still
