Your favorite number doubled

Adam Roachford 2002 (Bridgetown)

Free verse
Repetition was addiction in the mind of a fool
Chemical imbalance their recompense
Don't remain the same in your predestination
Your body folds without temperance

A digit, a code, a phrase, a person
Backwards belief is a broken watch
A bit, a node, a save, salvation
Now what is your favorite number?
