<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the meat in my head is purple</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">where once it was orange </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i don’t see things the way i did back then</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">

<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">there is a name for my condition but that doesn’t help much</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and look at it sometimes when you’re sleeping</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the horses standing just outside the window</span></div>

crazy shit. </div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
my friend tells me about a boy </div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
holding a severed head</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
he saw in the news recently</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
i see the boy quite clearly in my mind</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
he is dressed like amal from the christmas play</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
he has a karate kid style bandana</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
he's a cute kid who you'd normally see playing baseball or video games</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
sort of a brunette version of my own son</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
he’s got a gun strapped to his back</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
he's covered in dust and grime</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
he’s finally getting the attention he deserves from these lunatics </div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
he seems to be surrounded by</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
the body of the dead man unburied nearby</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
the corpse's flaccid penis clearly visible</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
but who is this dead guy?</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
no idea. some dude. if it was the head of the comediane</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
i guess the whole country would be more concerned</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; min-height: 15px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
but it’s not. just some middle eastern looking stranger</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">
a ghost. a prop. no one to concern myself with</div>
<br />
