People are mostly feelings -
they're all churned up.
So they go misdirected,
not thinking too clear, you know?

in an immobilizing face to face -

The dark substratum
that is everyone's birthright,

with your petty conscious resolve?
I am in your dreams and habits,
your very brain stem,
every cell of your body.
Do you understand the power I possess?
Do you actually believe, for a heartbeat,
that you can keep a small
self-conceived candle
aflame?"
