They inject it into your brain Directly through the skin and through the skull Don’t even ask about the pain Anyway, it seeps into the cortex Lighting up the neurons with memories What memories? First piggy back, first pulled tooth, first death wish Soft stuff springing into sparks And then oh, the flames Don’t even ask about the pain The straining emotion remains, of course And new connections are made Stemming phylum connections between One ethereal feeling to the overwhelming onslaught of You know, things Then the frontal lobe takes a break It sips that stuff and stops And thinks- we all know where that leads Detachment and dissociation start dancing They tango to the dull beat of your heart It thump thumps and there’s nothing else really Your brain wakes up every few minutes The background music playing And it makes you **** in this weird cold air Stuff happens, things stay alive And the injection well It’s faded the minute it was dispensed You were never more or less awake But it’s all still moving slow-quick Slow down, you say quickly It speeds up You’re feeling everything that’s ever been felt What a rush what an end
Now it ends. You slouch You see there isn’t a needle or a pen Nor a blade of any kind And the thumps are replaced by heavy thuds The sound rattling in your ear canal You inject it into your brain again Nothing You get up to brush your teeth and wash your face.
