In vain

I read too many books To find some answers To the things I did not understand. I dealt with all kinds of ideas: Quantum mechanics, strange philosophies. Kant changed my mind’s state, And the poems by Blake Finally put the icing on the cake. In vain, in vain — No knowledge could I gain. In vain, in vain — Confusion struck my brain. Physicians, religions, From facts over fiction To complex algorithms. Whoever had something new to say Was invited to enter my brain. Insane, insane — I overfed my brain. Insane, insane — My mind went down the drain. And not to forget all the weird musicians: They crawled into my mind with their lyrics. If I had been lazier, I wouldn’t have gone crazier. But my mind is still subject to change, So if I’m lucky, I’ll get rearranged.
