Playing the name game
Awareness wanes
What's a name?
So very plain
Just a claim
To a mortal plane
Flickering finite flame
Ending in Cartesian pain
When playing the name game
As old Brand Name ways complain
& brand new ways learn how to tame
The Upside-Down & Inside-Out, Insane
Transcending Infinity's doorframe
Kamikaze! Crash landing, aeroplane
Crazy lazy legs, insane & lame
In a coma 'til I awoke in Maine
Shrapnel makes a mess & maims
Lived somehow, my character's a main
Shutgun shinigami, what I became
Survivor's guilt to be my bane
They ask my thoughts, I exclaim
"I shoulda just took the train!"
Either way I'm still, all the same
Personal growth is why I train
Playing the name game
Awareness wanes
What's a name?
So very plain
Just a claim
To a mortal plane
Flickering finite flame
Ending in Cartesian pain
When playing the name game
Abel came to cut Columbian cocaine
With some 'Hand Me Downs' fame
Whatever it takes to entertain
An even crazier brain, my dame
& to maintain after killing Cain
My brother with mother's surname;
Changing names, now I'm Blaine
The Runner-Punisher following blame
Self loathing pouring like rain
Now feeling that familiar shame
High skies cry, featherless crane
Sniper-rifle scopes taking aim
Blood stained glass window panes
Church is Satan's portrait, picture frame
Monster Masquerade, facet facades feign
Playing the name game
Awareness wanes
What's a name?
So very plain
Just a claim
To a mortal plane
Flickering finite flame
Ending in Cartesian pain
Tired of playing the name game
