Off balanced scale of a Libra
Add another boxcar to my train of thoughts
I'm lost in a poets holocaust
With the grammar nazis always infringing on my freedom of speech
Thinking what I say and what I mean are the same thing
Of course it didn't make sense
Artists are in the business of defying physics
Divided myself by zero and found the fraction of madness Aristotle suggests accompanies genius
How high does my I.Q. have to be to test positive for crazy?
It's the ordinary that need therapy
They're vision impaired with arrogant stares
But we find fresh air in gas chambers
Inhale the vapors and emerge more alive than ever

You say that you are interested in how people interpret you. If I think that you are saying that poets are outside the accepted range of normality (and what is that) and that their words cannot be understood rationally but speak with some alternate subliminal meaning then the line 'Thinking what I say and what I mean are the same thing' seems to create a Cretan liar paradox. Which you would probably be quite happy about.

The line was intended to explain that people usually don't understand metaphors or that they take them literally. Although that specific line was meant to be taken literally, I see your connection with the Cretan liar paradox. However, can we call it a Believer's paradox as well?
'I'm too honest to be trust worthy'
Sounds like a paradox. I wrote this line as a metaphor though. I've been around a lot of dishonest people, as we all have. It means I'm too honest to be trusted by those people to do dishonest things.
That's not to say your interpretation is right or wrong. It's all intended to mean whatever it means to you.
I appreciate the thought you put into this. Thank you for your insight.
