Blood For Breakfast, Nails For Lunch, Souls For Dinner, Hell For Snacks
Insane is the brain
Cerebral in infinity
Without endless thoughts
Counting backwards
To cascade forward
What is reality of the mind
And what is pure illusion of the heart
I make believe that what I say exists
But a figment is fruit from the Gods
Given to mortals as trickery
Promethius was tricked into death
By living again each day
I was fooled into breathing
By a soul reaper who
Breathed a mystery
Into me, like a gold coin
Rare and precious in the hand
Held for decades into admiration
So is the thoughts of a human
What we have created as our id
Has grown past manifestation into mast
By overpopulating culture or just cult
Not so secrative is the imagination
Not so quiet is the ravenous howls of
Humanity barking for the royal flesh
Of a new meat from the wishbone
Dying to be more than just ourselves
