The human psyche's complicated
Your childhood is implicated
How you perceive daily struggles
When your fragile mind just boggles
We adults are responsible
Expected to face the trouble...
Respect elders brought us here
Then change roles when death is near
In the archives of our genes
Carrying the same disease
Color coded tiny patterns
Carbon copied from our parents...
Magic spiral DNA cells
Tell us where a tragedy dwells
Raising arms or raising bottles
Can be blamed on missing cuddles
A German came to our defense...
A grown split mind that depends
On safe wombs and lullabies...
Names his mother with his cries
When you feel the end of the road
And you rather hang on a rope...
Locked up in the dark of your mind
A forgotten inner child...
Waiting for a magic word
To show you a secret world
Casting light in sad dark places
Scribbling a smile over faces
Draws rainbows on morbid landscapes
A laughter hexes sadness and fears
Teaches you to love irony....
