“in the beginning was the word…”
nay
in the beginning was a man
trapped in a room
full of books
and none of them loved him back

cracked spine on a book of spells
i read the whole thing, still stuck in this cell
god don’t answer, just ghost my yells
so i burn through the scrolls, raise up h*ll

lit by a lamp and a cursed idea
life outside’s a blur, in here it’s clear
i asked for truth, got a deal and a leer
mephisto in suede with a grin to fear

i said: “show me real. give me pain, give me joy.”
he said: “bet. but you’ll break like a toy.”
i laughed, ink ran on the contract’s page
one soul, one tour through the mortal stage

small world, big mind
truth blind, clock rewind
walk with the devil in a scholar’s coat
say goodbye to the lab and the holy note
easter bells and the springtime smell
but i walk through the crowd like i’m under a spell
peasants cheer, but my spirit fell
they sip joy, i sip from a deeper well

gretchen pass by, eyes like grace
but i’m split in two, can’t match her pace
desire in the bones, guilt on my face
mephisto smirkin’ in a shadowed place

we hit the tavern, spirits flow
he toasts to sin, i toast too slow
but i want more life than these rituals show
so i drink from the flask and let fire grow

“what you seek… will undo you…”
undo you…
undo you…

nights grow louder, days shrink thin
i chase the thrill, but lose within
touched her hand, felt the guilt begin
truth ain’t light—it’s a blistered sin

mephisto laughs, says: “this is fate”
shows me power, turns love to bait
i said: “stop”—too late
already opened the seventh gate
small world, deep crave
truth’s a drug i couldn’t brave
swapped my name for a thrill that fades
wrote my life on a burning page

in the study, books all closed
outside, the world’s still gold
but i ain’t the man i was before
i’m the echo behind a scholar’s door
