Chains bind
my mind
to which I've resigned
to find
peace of mind
in this endless grind

then you remind
that I signed
away
my mind
long ago
the answer is no
I cannot go
down that empty road
or my mind will explode
brains a la mode

grab a spoon, dig in
eat away my sin
let's begin
we're kin
don't mind the skin
don't be shy
look me in the eye
don't lie
just try
eat enough
and you'll get high

eat enough
and maybe you'll fly
away from here
where thy sky is clear
and you hear the sun shine
rays like wine
sweet and seductive
totally sublime

it's no crime
to dine
like queens and kings
kiss my ring
minstrels sing
treasures they bring
lay at my throne
still nothing I own
in my castle
all alone
I groan
and I moan
and I endlessly atone
for sins
that weigh me down
like stones

I've been there before
can't take no more
I'm better off chained
chained to the floor
meant to be read like a rap
