Practice Makes Perfect

from Benjamin by Brooks Strause

lyrics

I am masturbating contemplating the birth of the Universe. Judgement Day will come but I am thinking I will get there first. I used to think it was supposed to be easy, but Goddess disagreed. Now I know the Work works and we have everything we need. I am smoking softly, drinking coffee, playing a thing I never played. I told my hands to demonstrate, miraculously they obeyed. I used to think there was supposed to be justice, then she corrected me. Now I have a smart heart and light gray is all I see. Quality is applied, you're doing it now and I'm doing it now. And space goes out forever but I doubt I will ever know how. I have only this fleeting minute and this song with which to sing. And like the serpent's tail meeting its teeth creates a ring, chemistry has helped me to become a better thing. I am feeling deeply, high and sleepy, contented in my wooden box, reading tarot right beside a symbol I have made with rocks. I used to think I was supposed to be sorry, but all of me has changed. Now I get to feel real in a world that I've arranged.
