The Mad Scientist - Deadlights

I don’t get the logic

If there’s any at all

So much proof on one side

Yet the battle lingers on

For crying out loud

We needed it then

Now the reign has ended

(Overstayed your welcome, don’t stay another second)

Shoot the gift horse in the mouth

Bring the blackout

Oh, gas without a spark

It won’t be long ‘til it starts to ignite

Secrets far and wide

Will burst into flames right in front of our eyes

Oh, Is my soul safe

Or did I sell it to the wrong side of the fence?

Did they say what they meant?

It makes no sense

The center of the universe

Waiting to intervene

Hopeful thoughts with mixed intentions

Hunting the naïve

It’s a rusted cog and chain response

Slowing down the truth

I have busted free from there and now

I beg you to follow suit

Young shame makes old wisdom

May explain why I’m so dumbfounded

By your decisions & progression is so slow

(We needed it then, devoted.)

Oh, gas without a spark

It won’t be long ‘til it starts to ignite

Secrets far and wide

Will burst into flames right in front of our eyes

Oh, Is my soul safe

Or did I sell it to the wrong side of the fence?

Did they say what they meant?

It makes no sense

There’s so much tension in the room

It’s boiling up my blood

The spirits start to loom

I can hear my heart thud

I saw a light shine through the awning

& With a crooked tune

They told me to stop calling

& It’s ruined my mood

I don’t feel a thing

Except the skull in which brain spins

& Then I howled at the moon

But I think I spoke too soon

I spoke too soon

If I killed myself today

Would my death be a sin?

Words with the sole purpose of

Attracting flies to a bin

Even if I found out I had only seconds left

My last breathe of air wouldn’t be wasted on a prayer

Shoot the gift horse in the mouth

Bring the blackout
