Those Left Behind

A Corpse Submerged In Bloody Water

Those Left Behind


Bonds formed by predominant neuropeptides
In the mesolimbic dopaminergic pathway
Intense social attachment
Defined in terms of romantic love

Euphoric emotional processing
The limbic system rejoices
From reinforced rewards

To stimulate the nucleus accumbens
To feed the prefrontal cortex
Activated dopamine receptors
Soaked in oxytocin and arginine vasopressin

Euphoric emotional processing
The limbic system rejoices
From reinforced rewards

The continuous pursuit of gratification
Priming for copulation
Addiction based on circuitry
The neuroanatomy of our intimacy

Euphoric emotional processing
The limbic system rejoices

Let's change the metaphor

Devoured by her consuming eyes
Mutilated by the crimson tide
A decomposing carcass
A corpse submerged in bloody water
