Square the times of the addition

The number of times the square negated

For times square is in a crowded circle

Where the time ticks are expatiated

It's like the world is screaming at me to see the light it's shining

But my eyes only focus on the yelling and its black lining

We can blame on the eyes when the fault is the mind

Those upbeat chords mean nothing when the judges gave a sign

I've been training with Satan for world war 3 I'll never see

So I've been told the drum beats for peace aren't for me

I'd be arrested in the streets if I saw what's in my dreams

But the blood on my hands is my own, 'least they say it's up to me

I'm in a crowded box with screaming

But I'm all alone, I'm all alone

So many claustrophobic demons

But this space is my own, this space is my own

Square the times of the addition

For times square, four times squared

So many people never see what could cause such a feat

If I just wanna sleep don't keep playing that damn beat

Of the song of the mob here to worship God so Sweet

I'm just punished, you don't get it, if you want to, take a seat

I'm in a crowded box with screaming (Square the additions)

But I'm all alone, I'm all alone (The number of you negated)

So many claustrophobic demons (Four root two's the circle too)

But this space is my own, this space is my own (Time to unfold)

I can't begin to calculate how many of you think it's fate

But then tell me to get up, like I could break down the gate

I grew up like this, but can't live a life as of late

If you yell at me I'll take it, if you want my fist, don't wait

I'm like this 'cause of you, so whatcha gonna do

My backlash could be fatal, but more likely a fable

The war I wage is secret, but I've got company

I hope you see my side now, but don't you doubt that I am able
