in the center of mind 
sits a singular void
where all is created
and all is destroyed
recycling all 
through the field it creates
your body itself is the living gate
and if you create
within your mind
those structures within 
that have served throughout time
the madness you've known
from then on, is joy
For the world is your oyster
And its shell, your toy!

Center your self 
in liminal space
witness collapsing 
& expanding space
Fall into the center
Of the center's insides
Then bounce off the bottom
and blow yer damn mind

working the mercury through catalyst
purified by fire, all coarseness of earth
captain badness would complete the great work
and the gates of madness, reveal our true worth

it was just too much
for the man to deny
he knew what he wanted
He wanted to fly
With Icarus' wings 
And Hercules' legs
he knelt & he straightened
and shot off into space
and I wanted to go 
along for the ride
so i wasn't watching when he 
flamed out and died
but i felt it when he left us
felt it in my chest
like the part of me ripped out
that i loved the best

now listen my daughter
and baby boy
as i tell you a secret
few else will employ
there's only one thing 
worth learning in this world
and that's to love everything
as though it were yours
Because it is
it really is 
it's yours

and you ain't supposed to run it all
into the god damned ground
like we are

and the ones who run the world
tug on monied strings 
to harm from afar

and they kill
and they destroy
and they make war
and they sell toys
and sell you cars

he sat and went quiet
and when he awoke
he found he could see them
and all they had wrought
Suppression, and 
so much noise
an endless hum, like the 
buzzing of flies

We live in their jar
we feed them our lives
and when they have ended
they make us go twice
and ripped out of context
you forget what's right
and the gates of madness
shall claim your whole life

and I wanted to go 
along for the ride
so i wasn't watching when he 
flamed out and died
but i felt it when he left us
felt it in my chest
like the part of me ripped out
that i loved the best

and i wanted to go
along for the ride
so i wasn't listening
when he told me why
Though we all learn the hard way
the lessons of time
i'll make your path easy
just hold to this light

Captain Badness at the Gates of Madness
