We are hated Impetuous, reckless For our bodies so out of sync with our minds Our minds which cry to be numbed But we are told we must face our world Raw and unaltered We are told we are dangerous to ourselves and others So We are told we must swallow our spoonfuls Of seething vitriol But we do not heed these naysayings And though we are faced with righteous constriction We cannot bear the concept of this empty red iron life So we escape the sub-real by fleeing to the surreal, the anesthetized anti reality And burn away our tortured, sober, senses Until we hold no fear of our forefatherβs submissary world And we may repress our heinous dreams And our uncomfortable thoughts of a greater reality Drowned in a caustic flood Of shameless hedonism, glorious temporary satisfaction, and amorous alcohol
