An idea consumes your mind Making you believe in its truth Pushing you deeper, it starts its feed Feeding on all your held beliefs Till there are none left Infecting you Overtaking you Resting within you Tricks you into believing this is where all is right As you succumb to the infection, this dream world appears This idea takes you into the dream world Living life as you think it should be lived You stay in this new, wonder-filled world. Forgetting what’s true Until you see it… A small projection of what you use to know It sends shivers and spasms throughout your body The truth comes flooding back Like water from Katrina You want to Need to Escape The damage is irreparable Irreversible Forever left with the damage

Adding Up the Damage
An idea consumes your mind Making you believe in its truth Pushing you deeper, it starts its feed Feeding on all your held beliefs Till there are none left Infecting you Overtaking you Resting within you Tricks you into believing this is where all is right As you succumb to the infection, this dream world appears This idea takes you into the dream world Living life as you think it should be lived You stay in this new, wonder-filled world. Forgetting what’s true Until you see it… A small projection of what you use to know It sends shivers and spasms throughout your body The truth comes flooding back Like water from Katrina You want to Need to Escape The damage is irreparable Irreversible Forever left with the damage
