Cognitive Distortions
Basilisk Theorem

Searching your own mind For cognitive distortions Is a tricky, sticky business Like a spider Getting stuck in her own web How can your own perception examine itself Your thoughts can only be what they are The mind is slick and slippery The self you're trying to hold is an eel, wriggling to escape Splashing back into the stream of consciousness The spider must spin her web The eel must swim freely in the stream These are normal things, these are natural things Can the broken machine fix itself The flaws in your perception are self-perpetuating processes Cycles of operation that repeat, reaffirm, redirect If the gears stop, it's only because the fuel line has been cut Can the damp ground dry itself The wrongness seeps deeper and deeper into the soil Where the sunlight will not reach it How can a thought be a wrong thought But what if it is Is it just one? Are the other thoughts guilty by association Maybe they are all wrong thoughts Maybe your perception is so clouded you can't see how wrong you are About everything Blinded Deluded Wrong To fix your cognition you must be able to perceive the problem And to detect the distortion, you can only compare yourself to others And you are different Your different thoughts are wrong Your different feelings are flawed Your different mind is a broken thing So fix it But be careful It's a tricky, sticky business Searching your own mind
