neglected (moracle of delphi)
introspection fails to screen
the architecture of that dream
you call “your self living your life”
the “reality” for which you strive
you cannot leave your selfish cheer
because its cause is still unclear
you cannot see what isn't there
as long as you trust in your spare ...
and 'though your ego is a mess
your conscious thoughts they do confess
you keep your concept of a soul
not doubting who is in control
but who is sitting on the throne?
while your weird ego stays unknown
and lost in deep unminded slots
just hidden...

dream is just a word
a busy mind reflects what's new
but your weak self is torn apart
deep inside there is no single you
and that's where all your suffering starts
you cannot leave the dream
reality is hard to spell
without a word to fill the gap
that burns your logic into hell
cause words created their own trap
your life's some kind of dream
there's no way out,
you cannot spy
behind the screen
which is a lie
that feels like truth that makes you blind
that fools the eye inside your mind
beyond your thoughts there's no...

A paradox does lie below (underminded determinism)
So wait a minute
There is a trap in every thought
With a chance in it
To find another better word
A paradox does lie below
Since many wise men claimed to know:
All spoken truth is doomed to fail
Cause every word works like a veil
Just hiding what is meant by it
As soon as we try to decrypt
Cause every meaning’s far beyond our wit
And as a consequence of that
They don’t know what they really said
Cause every thought they claimed they had...

self-diagnosis (I am not me – but we are one)
with every verse that’s written down
I “reinvent” an unknown self
“discovered” through the sense that’s found
through an advanced mind reader’s help
but this is not the only source
since I, the reader, need a text
that’s written down by me of course
without a guess what’s coming next
and these two parts do interact
through written words, keenly combined
there is no way to think that pact
as a result of one whole mind
so my strange selves depend on things
that lie outside of my strange brain
it is no single head that brings...

irregular (swallowed by quicksense)
regularity describes the place
where logic proves its basic might
it's hard to leave its suggestive trace
and to analyze a pointless night
cause everywhere we'll spot a point
from which we'll have to start again
and after all we'll find a joint
to reach a more familiar lane
and so we try to understand
but understanding changes all
you can't use light to see dark land
nor understand such thoughts that crawl
beside the well known logic path
through the unknown that you can't hold
ambivalently yours...

self becomes cause
going further, deeper inside
where i am not myself anymore
here is no place for selfish pride
nor for my dubious personal laws
goodbye starkness, my old friend
we both know i don't speak your tongue
but next time has come to an end
where i'm diving, i don't need lungs
just echoed by a former self
a dull felt core of who i was
i find that there is no I left
it seems like there is only cause
melting to nothing, which is all
turning around to capture thoughts
that blow right through the mess that falls
to...

stuck – access denied – drugs
Who drowned myself in blankness?
that's not the thought I tried to think
and reconsidering our rankness
makes my short-term memory shrink
makes my short-term memory sink
and drown in what I tried to wonder
words disappear behind a sudden blink
in a neural storm with thunder
Fuck! pull myself together
but I woke up on some wrong day
lost with my mind trapped by its weather
words came out of brainy gray
thoughts tame doubts of grainy rays
just scanning what is left and useless
“access denied” I hear somebody say
talking...

you cannot flee your very thoughts
as complex as a net of themes
metaphors are living things
language of self-minded brains
interwoven with a world thought sane
but deluded by senses and sense
cooperating just by chance
you can’t deny those alien parts
that hide within your twisted self
nor cannot face just what they are
just like you can’t escape their hollow spell
that you can’t shelve
though it’s no use to delve
chaotic like each world of thoughts
worlds are nested in each word
concepts of our looped up minds
rooted in something that...
