As a henchman of coffee bean
grown under wraps
with a thorn in my side
tickling my tummy
smoking nicotine
addicted to the caffeine
with words painted black
miming the guillotine
as a henchman of coffee bean
As a henchman of coffee bean
grown under wraps
with a thorn in my side
tickling my tummy
smoking nicotine
addicted to the caffeine
with words painted black
miming the guillotine
as a henchman of coffee bean
Fancy That
dark elixir carefully brewed
a ritual when dawn unfold
to smell that and the roses
slowly dying on vases
the fragrance dance in the air
like belly dancers' tantalising gait
caressing the senses deeply
a lick a sip and everything's great
Coffee like dreams taking flight
carefully traversed on the morning light.

Henchman of caffeine
The rouse is dynamic
Inhaling the vapour of musk
The husks bear no limits to the spectacular of liquid rebirth within
Invigorating the bones
Stimulating the eye
He swills the sable waters
lapping up the vigour of caffeine
the henchman romances his ebony gift
Pining over the imprint of such a creation
He’s stimulated—
The addicts gold
Affair of bold
A sip of clarity’s chiming
Inhaling the vapour of musk
The husks bear no limits to the spectacular of liquid rebirth within
Invigorating the bones
Stimulating the eye
He swills the sable waters
lapping up the vigour of caffeine
the henchman romances his ebony gift
Pining over the imprint of such a creation
He’s stimulated—
The addicts gold
Affair of bold
A sip of clarity’s chiming

The Daily Grind
Driven by impulse
Conditioned by this artificial nectar
I drink it in down the vein of my gullet
As I consume from a straw like a plastic injector
My blood the chamber, my heart at gun point, taking a bullet
Is this suicide by way of coming alive
Or just pretending to live as I rely on this vice
Fabrication of this synthetic sunshine
As I slave away and juice up for paradise
Anxiety wrote into the side effects
Pressure rising, sleep on the altar of this shrine
Addicts of nervous energies
Coffee grounds for the daily grind
Laced into every beverage like candy
I suckle from the chest of death
Siphoning the fuel in trade
As I leech and every sip takes my breath
Pursing my lips to red bulls for fleeting wings
Monsters and rock stars like the henchmen of caffeine
Branded after the characteristics of wild and scary things
Remixing morning stews of sweet additives and java beans
A fix upon a fix that perpetuates the brokenness
Like any other drug and crave induced habit
Just another wonder land
Following another rabbit...

Ground Too Deep
The Henchman of caffeine
have taken me hostage
I beg of you, let me go
I am not worthy
I cant take the heart palpations
the jitters
the sleepless nights
maybe these Henchmen
should bring
me a whiskey instead.....
