Self Portrait

I drink so I can deal with assholes
This includes me
Do you believe in fear?
I love this stinking place
I'll never be alive (alone) again
Free the chains that imprison me
My cage is made of concrete
My heart screams the rage
Eyes are seeing the truths, or I think so

Do you feel rage?
Question reality, or doubt it
Do you think I speak the truth
Or am I just stammering about?
Don't ignore your brain
Just talk to the masses
And speak of the forgotten fools
(Dead heros make noble idols)
Do you fear me, or do I fear me?

Think of reality as challenging the brain
(Cerebral cortex bleeds madness)
Speak in tongues (don't lie to yourself)
Goodbye, I'll see you on the other side of madness
