This Unbearable Heat Fever Will Make Criminals of Us All

This heat, brings blood to the surface

Makes us monkeys in its circus

From nervous tension of general discourse

To last second, bad decision, back-alley intercourse

Slipping up and making that holy mistake, so simple

As if in hell, in this Son of Sam Summer, we sizzle

Body and mind melting like some miserable popsicle

This illogical acting out is either comical or diabolical

This unbearable heat fever will make criminals of us all

From murderer, to adulterer, cannibal to the inconceivable

For my sins, I am sweating, sweltering, burning from within

Pain is my pleasure as this angel halo has been hiding my devil’s skin

You have been hypnotized by my fire, forced to perform

Jester’s, none the wiser, I am King, this Hell is My court!

So just engorge yourself in immorality and enjoy your unwinding

Plunge into self-indulgence, follow those impulses, blindly

The uninitiated explain us away as wallowing in the mire

If indoctrinated in this Hades, it is Enlightenment to be dancing with desire

They shame and pray for us,  with their ignorance, they battle

As they shelter in their chapel, hungry for knowledge, all I offer

Is this Apple
