Electric Loneliness

Electric loneliness. 
Took a look at me like syrup.

Neurons attached to nothing-stems. 
In the brain shaped way, I tried. 
Took a ride like syrup sings. 
Attached to my life…

And my brain is cobblestones. 
With shoes made of witch’s cauldrons. 
Electric loneliness. 
Took me far.

Gravity gives me a pat on the back. 
Songs made of table legs. 
Everything I tried turned to legs. 
Life of a brain’s shadow…

Electric loneliness. 
Made up of centipedes. 
Not in the way you’d think. 
In a network-way.

Electric loneliness. 
Neurons tapping away.
