This Name~Game

Where did your name come from?

Playing, this Name~Game 
As awareness wanes
What are names?
Just oh~so plain
Nothing, but claims
For ödd~mortal planes
Or flickering finite flames
And all end with Cartesian pain
Whenever playing, this Name~Game

Got caught in a coma, awakening in Maine
Like crazy lazy legs, and so insane & lame
When old Brand Names' ways complain
And brand Ñü∿Ways learn how to tame
My Upside~Down, Inside~Out: not sane
Then Transcending Infinity’s doorframe
Kamikaze! Crash landing like aeroplane
Sharp shrapnel making messes & maims
Survive somehow, my character’s a main
Shotgun shinigami ~ Whö then, I became
& now my personal growth is why I train
Either way ~ I Am – §till – all the same
Because survivor’s guilt to be my bane
Asked for my thoughts & so I exclaim
“Shoulda just took a bullet...train!”

Playing, this Name~Game
As awareness wanes
What are names?
Just oh~so plain
Nothing, but claims
For ödd~mortal planes
Or flickering finite flames
And all end in Cartesian pain
Whenever playing, this Name~Game

Abel who came to cut Columbian cocaine
With father's "Hand Me Downs" fame
& whatever else taken to entertain
An even crazier brain ~ my dame
& eyes maintain when killing Cain
My brother, with mother’s surname;
Changing names and becoming Blaine
A Runner~Punisher now following blame
Monster Masquerade ~ faceted façades feign
The Church, Baal's portrait: same picture frame
High, in Shy Violet sky ~ featherless red crane
Hawkeye scope, lens flare ~ snipers take aim
Holy blood ~ stained glass window panes
Feels familiar ~ Flow forming shame
My self loathing pouring like rain

Playing, this Name~Game
As awareness wanes
What are names?
Just oh~so plain
Nothing, but claims
For ödd~mortal planes
Or flickering finite flames
And all end in Cartesian pain;
Tired of playing, this Name~Game
