Black masked magicians
Softly speaking in the shadows
Pulling tricks out of their hats
Sell their secrets to the floorboards
Dimly light my air way
With telex mathematic thoughts
Brainwaves are just broken lines
Smash through the pipeline
Let the oil ridden reality seep in
Why do my fingers melt into my hand?
I cannot touch the unreal
Dizzy, dancing, discothèque
Self surpassing unsystematic seizure
This is a work of dreams
But I can smell the death here
I can fear the stench here
Heavy suited, symbolic metaphors
Writing themselves around me
My eyes deceive and I can’t believe
That I’m dining with the dead
Black masked magicians
Plotting ways to make believe
This is no longer a nightmare
This is a life mare, super-glare, are you over there?
I am the rabbit inside the hat
They’re pulling me out
Making me jump for the insects
I do not like the way this feels
Can I chose candy cyanide?
Why do my eyes melt into my head?
‘Cause I don’t want to see this again
Interpolate my life precisely
So I can un-intoxicate my cerebrum
Give me fifteen minutes
And I’ll shake myself to sleep

Thank you everyone for your responces, they mean alot to me.  There is just something about knowing that other people have read the things you write and that maybe in some small miniscule way you have had an effect on them.  Thank you all.
