The dopamine crashes On the cortical shore Of my homeland where reason clashes With need, logic fights With desire Pulling like a rabid dog bound by chains I know I shouldn't love you Shouldn't see you smell you taste you Feel you In the crevices of every breath But I do so help me God I do What poison are you? What absolute and utter ecstasy, this high Of feeling like the world was created just for me, like The universe exploded Emanating from a single point, one Dimension with the singular purpose of writing Out my name in stars Nebular clouds of ink spilling forth As it exploded into planets and asteroids and, yes Leaving black holes as a portent To remind us that it can't all be stars But I didn't listen I didn't listen and now The secrets of everything are scrawled across my skin like scars From scalding water, reminders of melted flesh Tattoos that fade into each other and I can't read them anymore What is ink and what is stardust, can you tell me the difference? No, you can't Because you're the ghostwriter, busy weaving The tall tale into my bones The one that ends with me being happy and complete Wanted Understood But it's just fiction, and fiction is The cry from the empty mouth That blasphemy once kissed Take your needle and ink of honey And sell your dopamine fix in the next town, run Your fingers along Someone else's spine Tell anyone but me That they're worthwhile to love and dance with Them among the stars to the waltz of lo-fi cosmic background And gravitational waves That translate my tachycardic pleas Into real words that anyone can hear But most of all, no matter what Never forget what Orion said as he hung his belt By the door, when he knew That hunting was wrong after all Don't you remember? He told us of the satyr who caught an arrow to the heart And lay bleating and bleeding, spilling Secrets of God all over Orion's shrinking hands And the hunter just sat and cried, he Said he couldn't tell what was blood and what was truth, he Told us never, but never to kill each other again But here's the real secret behind those words Killing is the same as loving, he whispered at last And none of us will make it out alive But it's just poetry, you said It's not as though it's the truth And I told you that there's nothing more True ever thought or written than the blood of bards And that satyr was right No death could be sweeter than love And now I know everything All the subtext and the context written in the contrails So please, stop allowing me to breathe you in Because as soon as you sink behind the rings of Saturn I'm just a satyr myself, hunted Until my two halves are ripped apart into fur and flesh But that dopamine teases like raw steak And the hound in me pulls at that chain for more
