What a trip the world has flipped
And now we’re upside down
That hole I dug to China
Twisted backwards underground
Good thing for fate to stop the spade
That could have put me down
For hidden in the dirty dark,
A shocking line was found
For all I know I hit that thing
And now I’m far beyond
You’re all imagination
In a world that’s been and gone
The pen I grasp is flashing neurons
Prompted by the jolt
A lifetime’s worth of memories
Stored in a… a lightning bolt
So now you know your origins
So question now what’s real
For your soul is my creation
In my mind your fate is sealed
Never underestimate the
shocked mind of the fool
Can’t you feel your short-lived life
Tick away slowly by the joule?
