He said, "I killed the beast, that part of me is dead"
And I laughed and yanked his stomach out of his mouth
I pulled him around town like a voodoo zombie
As an old serpent I could live in his brain with ease
He thought his acts absurd, he didn't know it was me
Not a beast he could kill but an integral part of his being
Firmly lodged in the cortex, wrapped around a thousand times
He thought he was an addict, but he was a slave to an ancient god
He prayed to me through his salivary glands
Atop a mountain of garbage, feasting on the sacrament
Subverting his own digestion, betraying his organs
Of course this would fill his body with wounds, his mind with mold
Poor child trying to heal himself in vain, for years on end
"The maze has no exit, my love
Not only am I inside you but you're inside me"
He felt his way blindly in the pitch blackness of my innards
A closed system of tubes and pipes
I've been twisted and turned around this cosmos since it appeared
He ran into one last false exit and shattered his face
And swallowed his teeth before sitting in a puddle of his own acid
The last trick I pulled on him was to make him love the dark
He was the best servant and he would never understand why
