Analysis of Ego
come in, she says, i think of mice...
to trap and strap and strip and tap
weigh in, she says, I pay, and dearly
I think of seeking for advice through lines of lies
and are you there, o brother, to save me from this demon...?
uncomfortable red in corners of her eyes
don't chide, we all have points of weakness
kiss here, she says, I think of cries, enjoyment
not without a splash of sickness
a fly for spider, a snake for mr. hawk
a bit of bitter bites the beat
apply for outsider, fake and mock!
the synergies of life - sour, never sweet
I am to serve, I'm yours I say
she's says for I's there is a price
the boom of doom, no black or white, but only greys
i gave so much, but more and more she craves...
some say, we are the same, but one controls the other, always...
