As I sit on the brink of insanity
Remembering not but that all is vanity
Ladle in hand, test tube unplanned
Full lifetimes in minutes spanned

This risk went unmissed.
But within the mist, power lives
A place to live and reign
A drink to end the pain
An experiment gone wrong,
Substance with no purpose,
Like a band with no song
Substance made to hurt us
by itself does no wrong
If I can eat it, I can beat it
If we can beat it, we can seat it
On the throne of perception
Sits the king of rejection
His decrees are for these,
that make C's on degrees
But information deceives
Even a skeptic believes
As I walk through my lab,
I think what I had, what it was
What it is and would be -
No thought of what it will be
As days did fade, when substances made
were for the benefit of me

Drunk off the fumes,
Blind from the plumes
Hair gone from the booms
A day well spent, ladle well bent
Mad scientist living
Right where he's meant.
