I eat your cake with a vivid insanity,
I eat your cake with a static discovery,
I drink your words in a glitch of tapestry.

I eat your cake with mental irregularity,
I eat your cake with lack of energy,
I swallow your sweat in a jar of agony.

I eat your cake with a fresh ecstasy,
I eat your cake with a silly silhouette,
I paint your sketch in a shadow of sanctuary.

I eat your cake with a loving treachery,
I eat your cake with a sense of reality,
I drench your dagger in an ocean of brutality.

I eat your cake with a legend lethality,
I eat your cake with full of tragedy,
I live a life filled with a haunted memory.

Where have all the innocent cakes gone?
Not so long ago. Not so long ago.
When will I ever learn? When will I ever learn?
