Counterclockwise - billy woods/The Alchemist

Two milligrams of oral triazolam

Every seven hours induces a safe sleep state at a minimal metabolic rate

I know we weren't having this conversation the first time through

So you don't know who we lost

At this continued state of breath

The human body breathes point three liters of oxygen a minute

It really could not have been much

It doesn't matter how much it just matters that it's changed

Or roughly two thousand liters in four days

Look Abe I know what you're saying

The class E oxygen tank holds six hundred and twenty-five liters

To maintain hydration the body cycles through a minimum of two

And a half liters of oxygen a day

A small tank of medical-grade nitrous oxidе would be needed on the other side

I didn't get but a little bit but still dreamt

After I wake up I wake up again

It's not easy to bend time how I do it

I had the knack I suppose knee full of fluid

She had me running back X's and O's she know what she doing

Daylight crack under curtains we lay spooning

Bodies wrapped up cups swollen belly a serpent moving

Counterclockwise counterclockwise

One city sleep durag tied

The other bare its teeth as it opens its eyes

Never the twain shall meet

I know she was a pro how she slid out the bedsheets

Grasping gasping fish I slide 'em in the fresh grease

Spattering sputtering epithets

I dance out and niggas reach like Swee'Pea giggling

Like it's sweet in the streets

Maybe it is I just speak for me

Scalding water the wash basin fogged the mirrors

Start my day but the other place still feel realer

Turn of phrase just a bit I got power steering

The woods gave way to a clearing

Where I knew they were waiting for my appearance

With knives ancient faceless but I know who they are

That's because he was the only human being they had captured

The CIA had captured

He was also the only human being that they had available to torture

And they created a fictitious person described previously

As an Al Qaeda representative—

As the CIA cables showed for seventeen straight days

A leader and so on and passed that on through the Department of Justice

They cycled through each one of these techniques the walling

The waterboarding the confined spaces

The Department of Justice said

"We're giving permission to torture him

Assuming these facts are true"

The-the-the detention hand and knees locked together so they can't move—

In fact the CIA knew they weren't true

And as I said earlier had been told by the FBI–
