We have an urge to destroy things that we find too perfect


> Zoo
>
> The lion coos
> The birds roar
> The sheep squeak
> And the mice baa
>
> The sun rises at night
> And the moon at day
> Grass from the sky
> Clouds on the ground
>
> Stop and go
> In and out
> Always twirling
> Never resting
> In the mirror you see it
>
> In the dark it grins
> Only seeing its bleeding eyes
> And those piercing gins
>
> In the dark it shivers
> And cries an unknown cry
> With such pain it smiles
> The essence of life leaks
> Every time it opens its mouth
>
> In the dark the soul glows
> The words starts to shed it
> The light dims
> Slowly it turns black
>
> In the dark the stench of hate
> Permeates and suffocates
> It doesn't even breath
> It knows
>
> The suffering still goes on
> In the dark
> And dogs moo
> And cows bark
> And that it in the mirror
> Is you
>
> The sun doesn't shines
> And the wolf that chases you
> Devours you whole
>
> And you visit the zoo and you see
> You are the main exhibit
> And the crazed animal image
> Can fit
>
> And the feathers of crows rain
> And vultures hover
> Waiting for you to die
>
> But in the sky there is a light
> And the leftover scraps of that soul
> Comes to fight
> And the fire that was burning you
> Turns to old coals
>
> And you leave the zoo where
> The lion coos
> The birds roar
> The sheep squeak
> And the mice baa
>
> The sun rises at night
> And the moon at day
> Grass from the sky
> Clouds on the ground
