I sought a new existence, somewhere inside
To rid myself of ego and grow
A ritual of candle wax; foolishness
And little tabs of paper with colorful illustrations

The echoes of tracers have built to form tsunamis
Crashing against the world
Leaving tiny fissures
Secrets of the world spill out to form a new heterodoxy
Encased, the brain swells becoming an inadequate transistor

Wisdom from outer limits of the universe ephemeral
I saw not the form I seek but something just out of my reach
My body the conduit for things in the ether I could leach

Ingesting a cocktail of haphazard drugs
Inducing terrible and forbidden dreams
Into darker realms my mind succumbs
Staring into vortexes, unending screams

Bodiless flights passing haunting nightmares
Crawling the nearby abyss
Horrific parasites
Skulking foreign worlds
hidden in the mists

With every foray a gleam of sublime wisdom
Shifting forms artisans could never sculpt
Wishing to hold this reality in my hands
In an attempt to understand only turn into immalleable commands
Arrogance of man to try and conquer distant savage lands

Now I fear something has cracked
Open my skull
Slipped inside my head
A strange inhabitant
It begins to sing
Finding its way to my legs
Strange geometric shapes

I now start to fear I'm now beyond
What I set out to reach
Sped past like a bullet seeking its end
I vomit cerebrospinal fluid

Like burning paper I curl and bend

I fumble forward, completely dissolved
Searching for objects with which I can reform
Clay, flesh, dirt, any filth I can find
Is this what I sought? Everything left behind

I'm ejected from my body
Falling back into the horror
Clutching hands with my former temple
but the figure has already taken over
A wooden grin breaks across his face
Peeling my fingers off one by one
Thanking me for this long deserved space
He waves me goodbye into the void I succumb
Into the void I succumb
Into the void I succumb
