Pleasure and Pain

I’m a body, not a brain

Fuck the golden mean, I’m going extreme

Off balanced, unfiltered, not an NPC

Thriving in the ups, the downs, and the in between

I affirm life, despite my feelings 

Maybe I go berserk, maybe I seek peace

One day, feeling icy, then I’m hotheaded on the streets 

If happiness is the goal, this is very easy to achieve

Just tune out the noise, destroy, take your sword, and unsheath

Slice through the chaos of life, and reveal what’s underneath

Multifaceted complexities, life feels like a dream

I’m soaring like an eagle, on an ultralight beam
