Gabriel's trumpet (song)

crawling like a baby uphill
my hands and knees are bones and blood
sometimes that's how you make me feel
like I feel nothing at all
You are my gabriel's trumpet
lobotomy
look what you've done to me
oooh

And I peer out through vacant eyes
My body has become a shell and there's nothing inside
My heart a calloused piece of skin
you've no idea the shape I'm in
you are my gabriel's trumpet

Oh, labotamy
Oh, And I'm in agony
Oh, oooh

Hallucinogins have "...been used widely...from ancient times and shamanism, witchcraft, and the vision quest in Europe, Africa, and among American Indian tribes." 1

"The overwhealming majority of those who experienced [datura] found their experiences extremely mentally and physically unpleasant and sometimes... dangerous" 2

The favorite being the genus datura, which goes by "...a variety of names including jimson weed, devil's apple, thorn apple, mad apple, the devils weed [and] gabriel's trumpet..." 1
