An Ode to Suburbia

Disenchanted rambling Drunken half-fulfilled pipe dream Craving for the cool embrace Of struggles you won't have to face The cult of image will persist Paradise ruled by the fist Lured to the edge at last While lovers watch, ashamed, aghast Truth a ceaseless murmuring Ignored or drowned out by your scream Realizing what's been lost The mind denied, at dearest cost Try too late, to your dismay It never should have been this way Can't have faith in what's now gone So blow your brains out On your freshly manicured suburban lawn
