The Lavalamp Brain

Inside the corners of my brain
the lava ebbs and flows
how this existence came about
there's no one left that knows

resources live in floating blobs
which split then drift apart
as life cools down they merge again
and take things back to start

are mem'ries saved deep in the mound
that constant, rests at base
or for the moment lost to me 
off at a diff'rent pace

a closed environment, a jar
containing all my sense
the flow will slow when I'm at rest
and heat up when I'm tense
