Just what do you believe you see when you think you see clearly? Is it the same for those around you? Do you think they would agree? Can you define reality? Can you give me a description? Welcome to my world, now let me write you a prescription.
With teeth as white as doctors' pads, they'll drug you with their lies! Their speech won't teach but rather breach the scene seen by your eyes! So tell me now just what is real; please offer some conviction. Or I can lend you some of mine; let me write you a prescription.
There's nothing real but what's really in your mind. There's nothing true but all that you are able to define. You say it's your reality, but I'm pretty sure it's mine; An uncomfortable notion though it is to get behind.
Can you stick within my world for now, just coexist with me? Though sad, I swear it won't be long before you return to slavery. The pain you feel--what you claim is real--is a voluntary affliction, So bear with my reality, and let me write you a prescription.
You can be free of the terror of your ordinary life, Just by letting go of all the thoughts that bring you strife. I've seen your world! A world where pain and fear is rife! But in my world the pen can cut much deeper than a knife.
I cannot make you take this simple-yet-complex cure. It's the kind of thing that works only if you're sure. Though there exists in us a mind, in every ma'am and every sir, There aren't many who will use them, of this I can infer.
So I leave the choice to medicate solely within your hands. I'm not the type to give out orders; I make no harsh demands. I simply hope to rid the world of this misery-driven addiction, So please, my friend, do come in, and let me write you a prescription.
Drawing nearer to the time when I need to start writing the sequel for my Death Metal novel (current working title, "Encore"), and I'm trying to shift my mind to more lyrical-driven poetry (anybody who's read "Curtain Call: A Death Metal Novel" will know it's saturated in that stuff; by far the hardest part about writing the **** thing). However, as with most things, my philosophy-driven mind took the reigns and it turned into this.
