TEN THOUSAND LIGHTS: A Lyrical Rap-Song Biopic
By SimoTheFinlandized / Paul P. - 2022 CE
===========================================
In case that you may have wondered,
I'm Paul the autistic mad-scientist, you see -
Clad in top-hat and plague-doctor attire,
With genius mind and charmed formality.
===========================================
Born and bred in the city of Chicago,
Under Italian banker's hands was raised --
By Irish-Catholic luck, love, and learning,
My perception of reality was forged and made.
===========================================
From a young age I have fiercely struggled,
With great psycho-emotional calamity -
From the start I was emotionally troubled,
From intellectual old-soul dark-empathy.
===========================================
For years I have learned and pondered,
All kinds of science and philosophy;
But none have seemed to unshackle me
From this dark prison of reality.
===========================================
CARE TO HEAR MY VOICE TO SING,
OF MY MIND'S CALAMITY BROUGHT TO LIGHT?
TO PONDER TILL THE END OF EVERYTHING,
UPON THIS DARK AND SLEEPLESS NIGHT?
===========================================
Ten thousand lights,
Blaze within me bright-
God grant me sight to see the end;
Ten thousand lights,
From the salvation of the wise --
Into the hellish madness I descend!
===========================================
For a long time I have gravely suffered,
From depression, stress, and anxiety so vast -
I distracted myself with creative hobbies,
Though its blissful peace never seemed to last.
===========================================
I studied science, philsophy, and religion;
I created art, music, writing, and so much more --
I have things that I invented and created,
Yet still no bliss from Eden as of yore.
===========================================
I frantically looked for a solution,
From the dark nihilism encroaching upon me -
In desperation and out of genuine odd-ball interest,
I joined the Furries out of benign curiosity.
===========================================
Under the Furries' support I have gotten much better,
I've made friends, lovers, and fame-&-fortune, too -
Though I still have long ways to go for recovery,
I shall see these unshackled mental burdens through.
===========================================
CARE TO HEAR MY VOICE TO SING,
OF MY MIND'S CALAMITY BROUGHT TO LIGHT?
TO PONDER TILL THE END OF EVERYTHING,
UPON THIS DARK AND SLEEPLESS NIGHT?
===========================================
Ten thousand lights,
Blaze within me bright-
God grant me sight to see the end;
Ten thousand lights,
From the salvation of the wise --
Into the hellish madness I descend!
===========================================
May God, science, and fur finally set you free --
From these dark shackles of grim reality;
May you finally feel the joyful bliss you seek --
With ten-thousand lights to guide the humble and meek!
===========================================
May God, science, and fur finally set you free --
From these dark shackles of grim reality;
May you finally feel the joyful bliss you seek --
With ten-thousand lights to guide the humble and meek!
