Quid pro quo, let the endorphins flow,
Lost my sanity to absurdity a long time ago.
Removed my brain for breakfast and feasted on my thoughts,
Boosted up my serotonin and felt my cerebrum rot,
Delusional? Quite possible, but this psychosis is unstoppable,
You can give me all these pretty pills,
But this chemistry remains unsolvable.
Lunacy? No, it’s genius, it’s romantic and inspired,
Everything seems electric now my brain has been rewired.
Blown a fuse and gained a wrinkle, I am disconnected,
By an enticing form of madness; I have been infected,
A creature from my darkest nightmare is what I am possessed with,
There is a dent within my chest where my heart has been digested.
Do not frown, I am the clown, I am the mime that makes no sound,
To a silent crowd, I take a bow; I am a king without a crown.
So hold me down and spin me round
And electroshock me ‘til I hit the ground,
‘Cause it's colder now that I'm coming down,
I vomit on your hospital gown.
Hypnotic past regression,
Half your paycheque for one session,
Cleanse your head from all depression
Through the power of suggestion.
I am just an alien masquerading as a poet,
Here's a little slice of life, and me; I'm just below it.
