What’s in your brain? Did you feed the mind trolls? Somewhere lost in the countryside Under a blood-red summer moon The fields whisper lies The sky has a vendetta Music is a healing balm Evoking tribal pleasures And the way you touched me Made my skin electric
All my friends are wolves They bear a hunger in solitude They lost the world of their desires They stay locked up beside skeletons Rainbows of sadness, new emotions Yellow as birds they had known Hold up the smile, lose your life
Hunger rips my insides My stomach explodes with shame I shouldn’t have done that back there Making the public believe their savior is a counterfeit and he’s really out to extinguish the cells in their tiny brains Out here, in the wilderness, my dreamscape is abandoned Yet, it’s full of the blackness and dirt of galaxies Dark matter, everywhere, clouding my eye sockets And burning up the skies with auburn alien lights Those meteors are not naturally caused phenomena They are celestial divinations manifested from our persecution complex Judgment days on summer nights, firefly obsession The insects cover us all and puncture our leathery skin And the sky opens and dumps buckets of blood rain It smells like the fatal sins of Saint Francis And these black-blood drops of liquid taste like outlawed heavens That I saw in the dreams of the dead children We never stop dreaming, hoping for our illusions to be realized But once we get there, it’s so cold and hostile That we wish the demon deities would let us go back Heaven is right here! Come get your salvation! I’m selling it for only $29.99, and you get a free trial Cancel any time, stream your pornographic paradise straight to your mind That’s what the dead want, just to be close to us And cuddle our warm bodies at nightfall
Trapped in a time loop My face fell off, I picked it back up, and it tasted of dust A spoonful of sugar for my difficulties Like an acid dose that makes my eyes hemorrhage Why did you bring me here, father? At the nexus of sin and glory, I chose the wrong door I don’t recognize these colors, and the animals and flowers are not from this planet or any of the worlds we have traveled to so far My skull weighs so much that it falls off my shoulders Rolls down the hill and destroys the city I feel mortified for all the times I didn’t mark the calendar The days when Death showed up and coughed in my face Oh, no – the time loop is re-starting Time to slit the skin off my body and hurdle into the black hole Wish me well
I buried my heart in the backyard And I must say, I did not regret it My heart was black and soiled And underneath the fertile soil, I felt it beating and throbbing
Please, don’t think I’m heartless now After this, I am only endowed With great powers of perception That enable me to disavow The curse of my ancestry
On the first day, the eternal snow of stars We felt as though we were behind bars, But it was only the prison of my mind – How it likes infinite repetition of Self-irritation, leading me to hills Of Mars to tear my body apart
We start here, again, An interstellar journey commenced, To escape beatings of saints Religious zealots who rule Island nations of woe
Why the riddle? When we get to the end, Will the Divine face be revealed?
Or will there be another riddle Inside of the inside joke That’s life on this planet?
Let’s peer inside, let’s abide To directives of love; Maybe then, a light will shine From above, and stop us From digging the crater That consumes great Urban centers.
The Divine face is ugly, We must admit, To be free from illusion When the only thing we Hold onto is our delusions.
