Toxic Visions

Absinthe Emerald Intoxication Historic Fascination Laudanum Induced psychosis Falling to sleep Filled with unnatural dreams Paired with Absinthe Drunk on dreams Pulled into a world so strange Only the dead live there The dead Those who walk around in opiate haze Only half alive Their conciousness filled with Visions Visions of the dark places of the mind Dripping in poison Symbol There are no There are no Blank air Spinning through a blanket of nothing Spinning through the nothing of days Days spent underground Absinthe Historic liquer consumed in small quantities Drink so strong Just a few bouts knock a man out Something so small Something so strong Intoxicated by legend Laudanum Opiate- poison used as a tranquilizer and painkiller Toxin used by some of the poets Romantic poets To induce their hallucigenic words Visions strong and clear Filled with the recessed thoughts of a supressed mind Dying from poison for dreams Living in nonreality Absinthe and Laudanum Intoxicated by legend Living in nonreality Dying in dreams that never existed Giving the body what it doesn't want What it doesn't need Intoxicated by nonreality Living in legend Forgetting the reality of life To chase a spectre Into a spinning blade
