the hopeless immortal's beginning to fade
wrestled down with anchors, impervious chains
the ocean's electric reduced to a buzz
the pills turn the popper, he probably would
the standoff mechanic of cognisance, sighs
mulls brooding through the alleyway, a harbinger's night
he pulled the remains, and teeth from the tree
when he sat down in memphis, he bound it on a hill
how to take it all in stride, win your soul and mind the light
how to live around the storm, wind and pressures to befall
here's a question you might need to ask
what's self destruction and how can we last?
