The Wolf You Feed - In the Sea of Insanity

I feel something unusual
An eerie desire, it’s so real
Growing more weary and delusional
I dive in the sea of insanity, of insanity

In my gut, salt, blood, dust
In my eyes, sand, sweat, rust

I’ve been away for a while
For how many years I don’t know
Sailing on the sand of the hourglass
Tracking my own tracks in the snow
In the snow

This snake swallows the sun
And then crawls in the womb of the universe
Feeding on the warm streams of life
Sheds its skin, be reborn and nurture the curse

I am walking over shattered bones
Numb and frozen by the cold
Between ruins, ash and stones
Uncontrolled

I’ve been away for a while
For how many years I don’t know
Sailing on the sand of the hourglass
Tracking my own tracks in the snow
I’ve been away for a while
And again I feel I’m drifting
One more time, I dive and swim
In the sea of insanity

The depth of my soul
Burning like dark coal
Hearing a thousand voices whispering
The weight of the past
Memories collapse
I can feel the ophidian slithering

I am walking over shattered bones
Numb and frozen by the cold
Between ruins, ash and stones
Behold

I’m stalking in the red moonlight
I’m a wolf, I’m a cat, I’m an owl
I have the gift of second sight
I am on the prowl
Running, leaping and laughing

My eyes, my hands, my head
What’s happening?
I’m losing my sanity, no, no, no
My life, my goals, my dreams
Where are they now?
I’m losing my inner friends


Alone in my bed
Mouth foaming
Creatures of the night all around lurking

I’m stalking in the red moonlight
I’m a wolf, I’m a cat, I’m an owl
I have the gift of second sight
I am on the prowl

I’ve been away for a while
For how many years I don’t know
Sailing on the sand of the hourglass
Tracking my own tracks in the snow
I’ve been away for a while
And again, I feel I’m drifting
One more time, I dive and swim
In the sea of insanity


Hey, oh, what the?
Please, no
My head, my head!
What’s going on?

Insomnia
Anxiety
Schizophrenia
Bipolarity
Paranoia
Depression
Dementia
Suppression
Delusion

We are the little critters, teeming, seething and bustling your mind

Ethereal cloudscapes of ice crystal swirl underwater,
riding on currents from deep in the sea of insanity

They carry the world on their solid backs
Standing on a giant shell
It’s just a matter of parallax
Come with me, ride the carousel

I wish I were a shapeshifter
Travelling through space and time
Growing hair, scales and feathers
To save the voiceless from their decline

Nooooooooooo

My eyes, my hands, my head
What’s happening?
I’m losing my sanity
No, no, no

My eyes, my hands, my head
What’s happening?
I’m losing my sanity
No, no, no

For several years underwater, living in a twisted reality
Drifting like a sea otter in the sea of insanity

Where am I now?
In oblivion, I disappear
