If you ask
About your task
Why you stay
Among dismay
Teetering between lies
Wearing your disguise
Weaving your manipulation
To avoid subjugation
Wearing yourself thin
Again and again
Not realizing reality
Is fleeting quickly
Believing the fake
Every breath you take
Investing in misinformation
As a foundation
To move forward
Dashing blindly toward
What you avoid
Growing so paranoid
As days linger endlessly
Pressure mounts relentlessly
When it takes toll
You’re desire for control
Slows your progression
Heeding your obsession
To resist all peace
Causes your anxiety to increase
