we live in a world of fantasy
we see what we want
we want what we see
sheltered away from reality

spurred upon the idea of escaping
its a narrow escape
and you can’t evade it perpetually
but we try
and try as we might
some run
some drink
some love

but it fades in time
cleverly disguised
as adrenaline,
alcohol
or roses
nonetheless
all in all

you are born
you are going to die
the rest is wishful thinking
i’m not going to lie

mouth agape
don’t be afraid
ships are bound to sink someday
so might as well sail it to your hearts dismay
