lyrics

To nourish the genius you must first torture the child.
After the torture, you must then stand aside and watch the flowering blossom of genius grow.
This has nothing to do with love.

As the growth continues you must remember to stunt the child so that there will be more room for the genius to grow.
This has nothing to do with love.

At an accelerated rate this will allow the genius to take over the job of torture. Any outside interference will not be necessary. The genius is strong enough to continue to grow while feeding on the body independently.
This has nothing to do with love.

The genius is not like a virus or a parasite. It does not need a living child to ensure it’s life. The genius will kill the child, inhabiting the body and live, as it were, as befits a living genius.
Having disposed of the child within it may find a great relief in the devouring of others.
This has nothing to do with love.

The genius cannot go on forever. At the height of its strength and power, it is weakest. When the genius begins it’s ascent there is a limit. When it’s reached its limit there is nowhere to go but down.

In the end, the body will die.
Not enough within itself.
The body takes the genius to death as well.

Thus we see the genius a self-fulfilling prophecy of doom. Nourishing not the child, which ultimately is capable of knowledge that will never die, but itself, which is but a shadow which from the knowledge falls.

Nourish the child, not the genius.
Nurture the child.
