Einstein's mind had depth, Kepler's too

Alchemists once swung on the gallows

Scientists long suffered for anything new

There's little of note in the shallows

 

Into the shallows you dragged me

Barely enough water to cover my gills

Once I swam free in the open sea

Now its a murderous battle of wills

 

You keep me indoors out of daylight

To the neighbours I'm a stranger

Nothing happens without a fight

My room's the size of a manger

 

Into the shallows you've dragged me

Barely enough water to cover my gills

Once I swam free in the open sea

Now its a murderous battle of wills

 

LIke a Black Hole you absorbed my personality

In my cell I'm reduced to plotting criminality

 

Into the shadows you dragged me

Barely enough water to cover my gills

Once I swam free in the open sea

Now its a murderous battle of wills
