The State I'm In

This is the verse that plays inside my head, in auto-reverse.

Tama ka, A***, may mali sa atin. Maling-mali.

Tara, punta na tayong mental.

I call out to anyone

But not too loud
I'm not ready yet
To share the phone or TV set
It's long way to come
Out of this one

--Sinead O'Connor, The State I'm In
Faith & Courage
