Come, drink of my madness

entry picture

I have been broken in many places, many times

but have come through stronger in the places I was most fragile.

I have been tossed on waves of criticisms but swam to shore unscathed.

I have lost my soul many times but I’ve always found it.

You said I have nothing to offer you but anarchy

yet you find my insanity so seductive.

All I’m trying to do is invent a new humanity, can’t you see?

Fuelled by the courage of my convictions

to push my genius to the limits. No fear.

Even death is afraid of me.
