It is no escapeTo make sense of the mysteryThe pill for aidingOur existence is depravityDreaming dreamy dreamsOf tantalising travestiesPlagued by thoughtless thoughtsWe all need a little tragedy Forget the voices stopListen even in their paucityLet their words satisfyA requirement for insanityYour mind has long departedFor the shores of incapacitySo dwell with me a whileHere in [...]
