I put them at the bottom of this post just in case.

Mind

The cerebral atrophy, it inhibits me,  
though my liquid spirit isn't bothered. the most elegant way I've heard someone express their inebriation.
I need to take a puff from your pipe,
because this clean air chokes of what
I lack . . . my body alone is not enough. your body is not enough for what?
All I'm left with is those unblinking eyes,
glaring, staining my flesh with its mark.

The elders drew symbols over that impression,
commanding its defection.
Briefly, the entity no longer looked my way, when you say "the entity", do you mean God, or an omnipresent being?
for the rain had mercy on my being
and showered its twin black pearls with a divine blight.
Immediate cataracts, then a buried fiend,
it was sent back to the pit. okay, i'm lost here

Now I'm eating up knowledge alone,
making myself full of what I once knew. nice
A mistake waiting . . . waiting to happen.
Inadvertently causing my own pulse to,
fump, fump . . . fump . . . fump.
Again, the damned crawls back to me,
tracing along my body's purple vines,
slowly forming a familiar mark.
The art piece betrays; it becomes hollow,
now replaying its seemingly perpetual course.

I was made for this mistake.
I got really lost about halfway through. Was this mistake of the speaker losing her virginity, doing drugs, or am I the one making a mistake here?  Confused There was to much idea hopping and ambiguity for me to understand what was going on. You have some beautiful lines in there though.

I listened to the audio and it scared the hell out of me. Reminds me of a horror movie.
"A man with true morals behaves the same, whether starving or sated."
