Doctor Long Ghost - Clerical Error

I'll start at the ending with
My malfeasance and thieving
The friends I'm deceiving
Hiding vices, I'm fiending
If you cotton my meaning
Like gandolf in moria
I'm wrestling a demon
As i fall down receding
Till Im lost in the dark
To the stones in my heart
The doctors might stent
With the best of intent
But I'll never repent
Shoot my shot till I'm spent
Then they easily take me
Stretched me out on the rack
Splayed flat on my back
Naked as a newborn
Who's fresh out her crack
Tortured me to confess
Regrettably under duress
In a brief failure of will
I copped to the plea
And signed off with a quill

Was torture my penance?
A well deserved sentence
Is the pain proportional?
Testicles twisted contortional
Medieval artifice horrible
All a part of this parable
Peter's error was clerical
More than just terrible
To let a hawk in the nursery
A quick glance cursory
The coast is all clear
So manage the mischief
Before the angels draw near

Then I snuck into heaven
With my penis unleavened
Vape pen, half a burrito
And a cantalope melon
What they couldn't conceive
Cuz its not in their nature
Below their stature more
Down by their knees
I outsmarted them plain
When I signed on the papers
Straight high off the vapors
I misspelled my own name
And what good is confession
If its signed in bad faith
Despite their intentions
I escaped out of state
No regrets, no remorse
As I look back of course
The pain was unpleasant
And not part of my plan
But the strain and the shame
Are what make me a man
The stars coalesced
And created a dream
Where hominids fester
And greed reigns supreme
Demons and angels
Two sides of the same
The allure of the danger
Hard wired in my brain
In the primordial jungle
Eyes adapted for prey
A million years later
I'm asking a waiter
Please bring the sorbet

Was torture my penance?
A well deserved sentence
Is the pain proportional?
Testicles twisted contortional
Medieval artifice horrible
All a part of this parable
Peter's error was clerical
More than just terrible
To let a hawk in the nursery
A quick glance cursory
The coast is all clear
So manage the mischief
Before the angels draw near
