Working Title #7

it's just a jump to the left...

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

stay up all night

for three or four days

you will love it

you will be amazed

all the covers come off

everything they have covered

all the muzzles come off

everything that they have smothered

stay up all night

for three or four days

and if perchance

you get to dance

with the devil;

ya gotta do what he says

there are no funsys this is for keeps

forever eternal shall be your days

every single secret thing

you thought too good to be true

they've been shelved in different thrills

away but not out of sight

not accessible to me or to you

stay up all night

for three of four days

stay up all night

just for a tiny peak

let's not muck about

not fuck about

let's tweak

let’s no talk about

let’s twist and shout

let’s peak

let’s invest in how

and ingest it now

let’s freak

visit the places

where hell is made

stay up all night for a week

it's all alright

stay up all night for a whole week

watch your mind eat itself and melt

you see a picture of you

on a million different screens

watch your mind eat itself and melt

you have the ability to see in the dark

watch your mind melt itself and eat

you might have

what is needed

to set this whole damn thing off

eat you mind and melt as it watches itself

were pretty much fucked if you don’t

watch your mind eat itself and melt

you look at the cards you are dealt

but you knew it was something you felt

watch your mind eat itself and melt

it didn't say really but it just kind of telt

watch your mind eat itself and melt

come back different and the same

can’t put my finger on it

yet...
