After I burn sage, I follow the mermaid through the worm cage
In a turn of an age, but I can't discern the days
I'm in a daze, unconcerning of phase
A stage as I follow her through this maze
Coming up out of the etherean waves with a filthy bathe right below the milky ways
She turned and me with a quilt she made out of silk and suede
Suddenly I'm in middle grade
Then staring into a mirror, gazing at her head that's fully braid
Face wooly with little grays
Then she took me through this underwater path through these hills that she Then through a chilly haze over many graves
I felt silly, this feels really crazed
Underwater castles where the guards of an ancient city stayed
I felt trippy, I felt dizzy, it's misty
I felt that I have any legs
Is this astral projection or out of body experience or some kind of godly deliverance?
Sorry, pardon my ignorance
Or are we prohibited from remembrance? Cognitive dissonance
The marsh shows discipline
My bars show the penmanship, penmanship to brilliantness
Brilliantness to the wilderness for a pilgrimage where the healing is
Found the electron plasma
Snatched a leaf from out of jasper
In disbelief, turned into gold then closed my palms, when I released, it turned into amber
I'm onboard a rocket ship where the chairs are detailed with chakra strips
Below us, the apocalypse
Before us, a metropolis
Her fabric must have been made out of magic, I wore it like a jacket
I felt like I was going backwards, this is madness
Then she opened up another tablet that gave me access to the address of the masters

I accept the journey like Paul on his way to Damascus
Or like Jesus to Mount Olive, they both rode in on asses
So I'm doing alchemy sitting beneath the olive tree
Now standing on the balcony studying the astrology, wearing an orange robe, a white man bun, rocking molly beads
Enlightened being, a knighted king
My whole studio's made of crystal, I wear a cape, my mic is wing
Wordplay supreme, I follow the mermaid queen

She told me many things, showed me another range, the lower and the upper planes
Inner body or outer body, I can't explain
But I just couldn't understand something, the demands of this woman
A fish, what was her wish? Do we exist?
I tried to resist, she insist, then we kissed, then my mind went “blick,” this is it
It's more than just a void, the darkness, the process, the odd guess
Some will get , yes
I remember images, things I recollect
But to put in retrospect, I didn't wear a vest
And it's not the long sleep that comes when you succumb to the numb of the warm peace
Once on me, but now the fear's lifted, the cold is felt
The slipping away, mystic, then you let go of self
The feeling was noted, then the body ghosted
So I descended to the underworld to the house of shadows in a canoe with a much younger girl, without a paddle
Sailing down the “river of no return,” in the quiet lit darkness through the mirror where souls sojourned
Aboard the digital airplane, turned slave, jeweled mermaid
