So now that I’m down, down, down
to my last braincell
I can finally see with my eyes closed
and my mind shrapnelled
that we are going down
but not in history
we’re sinking like a mystery
like Atlantis once so proud
just a shadow
deep down underground

bring the pain back
my brain is at its best when I am
turning it into a total trainwreck
next time that I’m high I will just
put the fucking poem on a raincheck
so I might enlight without
looking for the needle
in the drunken haystack
but oh, the rules just won’t apply
here for a straight edge
no! you just can’t find the truth back
on the sober side, it’s just like
waking up is one big override
you will have to get back into the
twilight hoping for a longer ride

so I’m again down, down , down
to my last braincell...

on the bottom lies the past
in our memory fading fast
the only things that ever last
are unsolved riddles minds can’t grasp
so I made it my main quest
to test this mind on loops and gaps
find the defective synapse that
will open up the golden chest

warp my vision
I know one more way how you can
pick up bits of underlying wisdom
on the edge of sleep there will be
a second when you hear
the elders whisper
telling secrets that make
you believe you figured out
the riddles of existence, but oh
the clarity is always just a drifter
no! you just can’t grasp the essence
of the overmind, it’s just like
waking up is one big override
you will have to get back into the
twilight hoping for a longer ride

so now that I’m down down down
down down down, so now that I’m
down down down - down down down
down down to my last braincell

I can finally see with my eyes closed
and my mind shrapnelled
that we are going down
but not in history
we’re sinking like a mystery
like Atlantis once so proud
just a shadow
deep down underground
