ah , ah , ah , ooh , ooh .

you have committed yourself ,
wholly to the dominion of semantics and ideas .
all things cerebral and abstract ,
with no patience for impractical emotions .
burning everyone who ever tried ,
to get close to you
but you’re so lizard – like ,
you don’t feel any passion ,
for anything but yourself .

there is a virus in your tenets ,
don’t be naive , you know it’s true .
and if you don’t protect yourself ,
obsidian currents , obsidian currents ,
will devour you .
ah , ooh , ooh .
