Rubber band legs and cotton candy brains

Steadfastness left trashed
when I let the time pass too fast.

In just a minute, the whole world can pass;
while hours can drift by with nothing on full blast.

I light up a cigarette in bed,
looking at the glowing stars above my head.
They're clinging to the ceiling with silly putty;
the baked things you do with friends. 

And at that same time,
as the clock hits nine,
a rocket ship takes to the night sky.

The people inside see Earth become a blue round ball,
before hitting zero gravity and coming back into free fall.

All the while, I’ve done nothing at all;
except surf the brain waves and the static,
looking at these four walls.
