The drifting night
Begets my footsteps
The drifting night
Begets my footsteps
I press this pavement
Until my feet scrape
In the back of my head, I
Saw you in the back of
My head, I found a knife
Dangling from your face
Looked like a seed
Too many gauges
Our thoughts controlled
My head is much bigger
My claws, my fingers dipped in blood
They've been cut too many times to be warned
You'll find, you'll find
You'll find, you'll find
I took my head off, I
Saw you in the back of
What's in the back of?
A knife dangling
Rub my face
Looks like a seed
Too many gauges
My thoughts controlled
My head, my fingers
Digging around
My fingers drenched in coke and blood too many times
Too many handling, too many handling
Too many handling, too many handling
For, for, what for, what, for what, for what, what for
Find, you'll find, you'll find, you'll find, you'll find
Do you remember
When I bought a gun
Or when I tried and
"The fear was so powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate. I do not think that my ordinary humanity survived the transition to this little room. I died, and a wild animal appeared in my place. Not everything was gone, though. What remained, although small, nevertheless was occupied with an essential task of verification. I was looking around as best I could, recording what I saw
The small, circular chamber had a domed, grayish-tan ceiling with ribs appearing at intervals of about a foot. Across the room to my right some clothing was thrown on the floor. As a matter of fact, the thought even crossed my mind that the place was actually dirty. It was close and confining for me. The whole scale of it was small, tight, and enclosed
Tiny people were now moving around me at great speed. Their quickness was disturbing, and in a curious way ugly. It was a truly awful sensation, accompanied as it was by the sense that I was absolutely helpless in the hands of these strange creatures
I know that I was seated on a bench, leaning against a wall. The predominant colors were tan and gray. The bench was the same color as the walls, and was rimmed by a lip of dark brown
There was something quite beautiful, I think, having to do with a lens in the ceiling, but I can remember little about it. Perhaps there was a lens at the point of the ceiling, through which some colorful scene could be observed
There is no way to be certain of how long I remained in this room. It seemed to be a stay of no more than a few minutes or even seconds. It may have been longer, though, because I had time to look around me and note numerous details. While I had before been totally paralyzed, I was now able to move at least my eyes and possibly my head
The next thing I knew, I was being shown a tiny gray box with a sliding lid. There was a curved lip at one end of this box, to make it easy to push it open. It was being held by a thin, graceful person whose appearance was not distinct
My memory of the one that came before me next is of a tiny, squat person, crouching as if huddled over something. He had been given the box and now slid it open, revealing an extremely shiny, hair-thin needle mounted on a black surface. This needle glittered when I saw it out of the corner of my eye, but was practically invisible straight on
I became aware–I think I was told–that they proposed to insert this into my brain."
