I took a vacation from myself
And my standard personality
My vices and virtues left behind
I became someone new
Sheded my skin
Evacuated my shell
Molted my feathers
And wandered off to the abyss
What I once called the truth
What I once named false
Both thrown up in the air
Now I see which falls into my lap
Sharing ****** pleasures with men and women alike
In an illustrious ***** affair
Smoking herb, dropping out and drinking the forbidden wine
With no second thought
With no regret or remorse
No rules
No laws
No restrictions
Rebelling against myself
And whatever is given to me
But why?
How come?
To test limits
To break through
To a place of nothing
No gods
No kings
No me
To test myself
My boundaries
To abandon my comfort zone
And take a trip to the edge, then go over it
I’ve been to the land
Of discipline
Of self control
Of obedience
And conformity
Faded out to the valley of shadows
Nowheresville
Population me
I’ll return
To my roots
Soon enough
With the knowledge
Of how far I’ll go
How deep I care to let myself go
How heavy a load I can carry
Loosening my grip of reality
Only to adjust it
To a level of pressure that suites me best
Make changes in myself
To be the person I want to be
Rearrange my life
And see what I actually believe
So until I come home, peace be with you
If I’m not back in ten minutes
Just wait a little bit longer
