Secret Magician

from Graphite by Kevin P. Gilday

/

lyrics

I filled out a questionnaire
To see if I was depressed
Had trembling in my hands
Or tightness in my chest

I circled some numbers
To quantify the pain
Described my abstract feelings
Qualified my disdain

Discussed the fear of failure
That weighs heavy on my back
The man I’d like to be
And the one I’ll have to hack

Misanthropy, in human form
The irony, not fully worn
I’ll protect myself from thoughts that sear
I’ll make myself just disappear

We numb ourselves
With bottles of wine
To make us ignorant
To the passing of time

To quiet of souls
And quell our ambitions
To shield ourselves
From our human conditions

We consume poisons
That make us feel sick
Lay prone, abusing
A flaccid dick

Misanthropy, in human form
The irony, not fully worn
I’ll protect myself from thoughts that sear
I’ll make myself just disappear
