The supposed focus of emotion and intellect
The body and the brain
The point it all began
The conception of identity
The brain and it's supposed capacity to reason

Reason, season, grieve

Dissimulation and assimilation
The body gave up or the brain decided
To give up before living drove it mad

Treason, reason and giving

The existence of the starting point
The boundaries within
The existence of a dominant will
All have torn me up within.

Deceit, deception and exception
Is there any hope of redemption
My mind, tired and lacklustre
Resounding with the same questions
Where does deceit begin
And where does deception end
And above all
When?
