I don't know why I do as I do I could be gentle, but my tongue Turns Lover's heart from red to blue In all the fury I have sung From callous mouth, from bitter heart Flies the jaded poison dart I don't know why I do as I do But to emotion I am true
I could be living, but by mind Is bending to conform to molds My mind no longer wild, it folds The greying matter, not consciousness of gold My mind is bought and bartered, sold Not thing of Beauty to behold I could be living, but my mind Is with the matrix intertwined
