Our Mother, Chaos
Father bless us for we have sinned
 But in this world of sinners we’ll fit right in
 We all struggle, each with our own vice
 Wishing for death, living in paradise
 
 Paradise is where Alice goes
 That backwards life is the one she chose
 To Father, to Dinah she bid farewell
 And down the rabbit hole she fell
 And into Wonderland she landed
 But found that world was empty handed
 
 Empty minds we fill with glossolalia
 With gossip, prattle, and melancholia
 Because asylum is a place we call home
 Though it is lonely we are never alone
 
 We have chills, thrills, dolls, and pills
 To cure us wherever our body ills
 Green ones for our throbbing head
 Blue ones, when silver tongues turn to lead
 Yellow ones for when we are able to see
 The world for real, people telling us who to be
 
 Because for people like you and me
 Identities are heresy
 Identities are pills we take
 Our own future we can make
 Lose the fates and their golden threads
 The lord above we surely can shed
 Snips and cuts we do not fear
 As long as our minds are not clear
 
 We are immortal
 
 Wind in our hair
 
 Screaming into night sky air
 
 Delusions
 
 Illusions 
 
 We hide our black and blue contusions
 
 We are chaos’s offspring
 Born in the sweat and glory of a fighter’s ring
 We learned to fight, to have the winning hand
 And amongst the fallen we learned to stand
