You like to think that you can
|
Live beyond good and evil
|
Amputated from humanity
|
On some lifelong intellectual retreat
|
|
Everything is conceptual and
|
All is rhetorical
|
You can feel so powerful
|
|
When you're forced to face the physical world
|
You scurry like an insect
|
|
There is a virus in your tenets
|
Don't be naive, you know it's true
|
And if you don't protect yourself
|
Obsidian currents
|
Will devour you
|
|
You have committed yourself
|
Wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas
|
All things cerebral and abstract
|
No patience for impractical emotions
|
|
Burning everyone who
|
Ever try to get close to you
|
But you're so lizard-like you don't
|
Feel any passion for anyone but yourself
|
|
There is a virus in your tenets
|
Don't be naive, you know it's true
|
And if you don't protect yourself
|
Obsidian currents
|
Will devour you
|
