Shark Eyes

Just here, your host
All gone, almost
Forethought, intent
Failing, absent
Offers regrets
Urges: Beset
Instincts dissent
Impulse: constant

Dominion is declining
As the visceral ascends
I’ve gone shark eyes
The senses are aberrant
Where the higher mind pretends
I’ve gone shark eyes
My reflection is confirming
What my deepest fears contend
I’ve gone shark eyes
Despite my best efforts
I am programmed to an end
I’ve gone shark eyes

Inside, Impaired
Vacant, dead stare
Compelled, they thirst
Engaged, headfirst
Tangled, they twist
Intent, persist
Manic, unceased
Only released

Dominion is declining
As the visceral ascends
I’ve gone shark eyes
The senses are aberrant
Where the higher mind pretends
I’ve gone shark eyes
My reflection is confirming
What my deepest fears contend
I’ve gone shark eyes
Despite my best efforts
I am programmed to an end
I’ve gone shark eyes
