About Me

I'm 22 and struggling towards complete independence.

I am a scientist - I seek to understand me
All of my impurities and evils yet unknown
And I know whats right
But Im losing sight
Of the clues for which I search and choose
To abuse
To just unlock my mind
Yeah, and just unlock my mind
..
