[00:08.620]It’s the farth...
[00:08.620]It’s the farthest place,
[00:12.095]I’ve ever been,
[00:17.890]It’s a new frontier for me,
[00:28.252]And you balance things,
[00:30.064]Like you wouldn’t believe,
[00:36.443]When you should just let things be,
[00:47.539]Yes, you juggle things‘,
[00:50.472]Cause you can’t lose sight,
[00:54.660]Of the wretched storyline,
[01:05.236]It’s the narrative that must go on,
[01:13.046]Until the end of time,
[01:29.403]And you’re guilty of some self-neglect,
[01:36.732]And the mind unravels for days,
[01:45.738]I’ve told you onceyes, a thousand times,
[01:55.309]I’m better off this way,
[02:04.655]I’m better off… this way,
[02:20.492]Where’s my queen of hearts,
[02:23.702]My royal flush,
[02:28.276]I have cleaned and scrubbed her decks,
[02:37.488]My suicide, my better days,
[02:46.225]There’s nothing,
[02:59.692]I regretI’ve placed the,
[03:02.225]GodsIn a Ziploc bag,
[03:08.201]I’ve put them in a drawer,
[03:14.053]They’ve refused my prayers for the umpteenth time,
[03:20.499]So I’m evening up the score,
[03:27.561]Small metal godsfrom a casting line,
[03:33.866]From a factory in Mumbai
[03:41.645]Some manual labourer’s bread and butter,
[03:49.961]And a single-minded life,
[04:00.757]Small metal gods,
[04:03.358]Cheap souvenirs,
[04:07.426]You’ve abandoned me for sure,
[04:15.325]I’m dumping you, my childish things,
[04:24.658]I’m evening up the score。
