We Think, Therefore I am
I, ego, none of these is
YOU ARE WHAT I SAY
cogito ergo sum,
NO
Multi ergo sunt
Many voices, they speak inside
The inside of the human psyche is a terrible
OUR HEAD
What is me?
YOU ARE HATED
Tis better to love and lose
I HATE LOSING
Don’t hear them over ourselves
What is a ME?
HURT OTHERS LIKE THEY HURT
Pain is in the mind, and is beneficial to-
THEY HURT YOU MAIM AND KILL AND MAKE THEM FEAR
I cannot fear
THEY DON’T MATTER
WE HAVE EACH OTHER
Other ways to move up in
INSIDE IT BURNS
I can always be stronger
STRONGER THAN
Them
I AM YOU
They will not stop
DESERVES IT
Prison and cognition are two sides of-
MONSTER
Cogito ergo sum
I pray for silence
Merge and transfigure
A new day
Nothing new under the sun-
with the voices
MAKE THEM SUFFER
I am stronger
Than
The voices.
Cogito ergo sum.
