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.

The Lush Life
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.
