Nights in my brain

it's always nights in here
that's why my mined thoughts
stumbles into blind alleys
blowing up rationality

with a sleight of hands, shredded neurons
are hidden under decks of cards
bathed in warm blood
to disguise complicated emotions

dark illusions, tumbling down twisted barrels
locked in unfathomable double helix
block the roads to reality

i am a prisoner of my mind,
trapped behind bars of education
of learning too much of too
little

it's night here my lover
let your heart set me free from
