It’s time to be real, time to face facts
We all love a drug, we all have our pills
We all choose addictions to soothe our ills
Trying to forfeit the pain life exacts
Things that we grasp only briefly distract
Behaviors we love that cannot fulfill
Popping bad habits instead of real pills
Making wrong choices, spurning their impact
Devices, entities, actions, can ****
All of creation mayhap abused
No matter your choice, regardless of thrill
We conceive our own monsters
By our own selves we are used
Pills only widen life’s fissures

All of creation mayhap abused
No matter your choice, regardless of thrill
We conceive our own monsters
By our own selves we are used
Pills only widen life’s fissures
