The Mind Electric
[Verse 1]
Think of these thoughts as limitless light
Exposing closing circuitry of fright
Think of each moment holding this breath
As death minute in decimal

[Verse 2]
Resident minor, how do you plead?
We'll need your testimony on the stand
Solemnly swear to tell the whole truth
So help you, son, now raise your right hand

[Verse 3]
Father, your honor, may I explain?
My brain has claimed its glory over me
I've a good heart albeit insane
Condemn him to the infirmary

[Chorus 1]
All my towers crumble down
My flowers gasping under rubble
Shrieking in the hall of lull
Thy genius leaves a thirst for trouble

[Verse 4]
Des étincelles d'émierge de pensée
Me delivrent et je suis envolé
Here in my kingdom I am your lord
I order you to cower and pray
[Chorus 2]
Nuns commence incanting
As the lightning strikes mine temples thus
Electrifying mine chambers wholly
Scorching out thine sovereignty

[Post-Chorus]
So spiraling down thy majesty
I beg of thee, have mercy on me
I was just a boy, you see
I plead of thee, have sympathy for
Me
Me
For me

[Bridge]
See how the serfs work the ground
And they give it all they've got
And they give it all they've got
And you give it all you've got till you're down
See how the brain plays around
And you fall inside a hole you couldn't see
And you fall inside a hole inside
Can anybody help me
Understand what's going on inside my mind
Doctor, I'm not sure if I'm not me
[Verse 5]
When it grows bright, the particles start to
Marvel having made it through the night
Never they ponder whether electric
Calming if you look at it right
