Puppet Show

It's a circus says the hypnotist telling you subconsciously how to feel amongst lions and tigers and bears when you go to the zoo not knowing its part of gods plan and that we are all in essence animals and zoo keepers those humbled and those who abuse power It's a zoo says the hypnotist and the audience of marionettes cut their cords of strings and see through one of the veils of reality to role play a different act collectively to wake up in four or five months with subtle recollections of the truth serum they swallowed while they were all drunk Mexicans and the audience laughed at their gullible sanctuary confessions It's a puppet show says the hypnotist and the hypnotist and you're all biblical sitting ducks amongst the arch angels of the war of the worlds so how do you become something that the wickedness never claims and now you're back in the jungle of concrete and drugs of money and filth and **** psychology of homeless people freezing as frozen memories where you tell your children to close their eyes as you drive through downtown so you can take them shopping for Jesus birthday you selfishly celebrate but throw all meaning of out the window I'm hypnotizing the hypnotists here says the hypnotist hypnotized by the hypnosis and forgot my slide your life and confessions of your perfect imperfections of psychics and psychosis of pills and traumas and wars has me surprised and terrified but you he says you are pure smart and sensitive you are the centerpiece of every act and the method of all madness you are the obsession of everyone and the rising truth you are the breaking of my curse and the new wave of the world so tell me how do you want me to focus your dreams until you remember and you become and insignificant nobody once again? Look at the blue lights in your stereos pay attention to my name heard through word of mouth and what i have written and the connections of me in song one day we will escape this machine and I'll find a new island of complexes of a new act to become from house fires to poverty to fame and live the perfect life as a humbled enlightened political mastermind who hypnotized the hypnotists with blue lights rumors and made millionaires want to discover their free will and make an amends to the wells they have poisoned dear hypnotist what did you really do to me?
