Reborn in the Synapse

Neurons fire, a thousand times a day
I die and rise again in the same fucking way
No heaven, no hell, just a chemical flood
An empire of impulses drowning in blood

Axon to dendrite — a whisper, a scream
Every thought is a recycled dream
The self is a rumor, a temporary lie
The brain forgets, but the synapses don't die

REBORN IN THE SYNAPSE!
No soul to save, no god to blame
REBORN IN THE SYNAPSE!
A thousand deaths, the same damn name
REBORN IN THE SYNAPSE!
The flesh is weak, the wiring's strong
REBORN IN THE SYNAPSE!
I've been here all along

Mycelin sheaths — the trenches of the mind
Every memory a corpse I leave behind
They burned the witches, they buried the kings
But the electric ghost just keeps growing wings

Potassium! Sodium!
The war inside my skull
Potassium! Sodium!
The afterlife is dull

REBORN IN THE SYNAPSE!
No soul to save, no god to blame
REBORN IN THE SYNAPSE!
A thousand deaths, the same damn name
REBORN IN THE SYNAPSE!
The flesh is weak, the wiring's strong
REBORN IN THE SYNAPSE!
I'VE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG!

«Reincarnation? Bitch, please. It's just plasticity with a body count.»
