"The day of death grows closer still
All the while I hold the pill
To make or break this path I've chosen
Will I choose the water or poison
For the path of God is never easy
People say that I'm different.
I see things and hear things not of their world,
But of mine:
Shadows and figures with no physical connection;
Voices belonging to no one
The pain begins to kick in.
The never ending pounding,
The drums beat inside my head.
Trembling, the room spins,
Sipping the vodka in my glass,
I'm drowning.
My liver screams
On the beat, on the beat
The only sound's the pounding feet
Of people jumping on the stage,
Dancing the story of our age,
Of all the humans in their cage
The dancers free their pounding rage.
