The lush life is nothing but a vain and vapid vortex, a flimsy, futile fairytale a cocoon of careless confidence that I eventually found not to be the key of the golden cave but instead an empty carcass we carry without courage. I'm stuck in this spinning spiral that ***** us in without a sound, this swaying so strong it makes us sweat So to avoid the sting of sensitivity we seek the salvation of soothing sedatives...to escape the lasting lies of the lush life.
