Into the Unknown

A crack developed and a name blew in
Billy Gnosis, weak and thin
He moved to California to start a new life
'Cause back in his hometown he just killed his wife

He started drinking heavy back then
He started eating things that made his head spin
Then his brain became a factory
For making chemicals that shouldn't be

Oh Billy couldn't remember his name
Billy Gnosis was going insane
And soaked in blue light he played and played
I can still hear the sound he made...

Billy burned his home and blew up his car
He sat and watched TV and played the guitar
And read a book that made his head spin
How could he have known that there were worms within?
And the worms ate into his brain
Through his eyes and through his ears they came
They left a hole so they multiplied
And feed on Billy's chemicals in paradise.

Oh Billy couldn't remember his name
Our unsung hero had gone insane
And soaked in blue light he played and played
The only thing that killed the worms like made...

Hey did you find the
Pieces your mentor left behind?

And did you care, did you
Trade his genius for your dispair?

Did you walk the line, did you
See the mongrels on either side?

Did greasy fingers grasp for pieces of your mind?
