[Note: This is dedicated to the best Marvel anti-hero Deadpool and anti-heroine Harley Quinn who I ship okay? okay. xD]

The bells they all jingle my fingertips tingle my thoughts are all single but I love how they mingle

My grin stretches wide and I feast on the fear and I'm high off myself and the laughs of my peer

Deadpool and Harley's warped cosplay tonight but if you think we're not Jokers you're in for a fright

The voices in the head of Mad Hatters don't matter they explode and they splatter in the infinite chatter

Pairs of eyes roll back in their heads one for me one more for Judge Dredd

One for the little boy who lived down the lane one for the prisoner in the back of my brain

Ha! Ha! we leer at Papa Geppetto the puppeteer the twist of the story the snarl in our sneers

"So a turtle walks into a pub, you think he would've seen it!"

"Booby trap? You said 'trap'!"

"Yes of course The Pool means it!"

Regeneration past my sanity's expiration it's taken a while to fight the effects of a half-life sedation

In love with Mistress Death I hate the thought of dying 'cause it's frightening so I guess I'll spend the night in mutilating walls with writing

Electrotherapy the other voices don't like it better bite your tongue you'll never forget the taste of lightning

Arms strapped down so my stomach reaches out for the edible things to feed the beast in my mouth

It loves to tell stories and sow the seeds of the solstice red and blue lights officers don't tell me to

"Hold it!"

So we fade away like us lunatics may eyes facing the sky like reverse "OK"

And a little bit of her is disturbed and the middle bit of her is unnerved

Let my mouth arms fingers and palms bring her all the calm that I can in the moment

She's got a skill so she hones it printing out pictures depicting loners re-enacting what's happening

And we're mapping where we've been we've toured the world and twirled the dream

We've twirled the world and toured the dream we're not schemers but we see the scheme

Existence be the test run so we have fun while it lasts 'cause I bet when it resets we're not gonna regret the past

If you've jumped out of a plane or screamed somebody's name you'll at least stop feeling like you're falling how strange

They deal Pencils all day 'cause they don't pay for the biro tryna sell digital art and save up for a plane to Cairo

And if you choose to change the marks that you've been branded with it doesn't mean you're now a sith even if it's the fourth or fifth it's not too late to change your wish

Hello from the other tide you can still choose the light side don't get swept up the undercurrent it ain't that wide

Rorschach patterns shift shape and stick on the inside forever nihilistic but the loyalty ain't undermined

An impulse to destroy but the rapid pulse is outlined trying to find myself but I forgot to have the route timed Pencil on the shelf living my life like my will's signed peering into other people's souls Two-Face I'm half-blind so I rewind back to before I had a cataract blood on the lenses Red running down the track like I'm Drac

Curiosity killed the cat so intrigue will bring it to it's knees and based on that hypothesis I really should throw away the keys

But I can't leave the door unlocked the nightmare in the cradle rocks psychiatrists inside my head Things 1 & 2 in Pandora's Box 3, 2, 1 and all is lost

Reality's an illusion of a game and I'm not on the board I'm not a king, Joker, Dark Knight- I don't play with pawns I should scorn but beauty lies inside the eye of the darkest storm

It's never game over until you run out of respawns...
