You can't make reality from an illusion

In a world of confusion

Sometimes it seems there's no solution

Hollywood demonic resolutions,

I remember you and I were once in this place

It seems to occupy both time and space

Guess I must have fell from grace

Now I'm in an existence in which I can't keep pace,

Nancy was a fragile thing

She couldn't quite sing

She was like a bird with a broken wing

I wonder what she is now doing,

I reached out in the darkness hoping to find

A rational explanation for why so many are blind

The human race has lost its ability to be kind

And I being of sound mind?

The forbidden truth seems to escape me

As if I descended from the evolutionary tree

Oppressed to the third degree

Preparing for another wave of insanity,

The urban warfare began at dawn

Still I find a reason to go on

Even though the rats are swarming on the lawn

I'm lurking somewhere between the lines that are drawn,

Don't ask don't questions their mode of deception

Forgive me for the aerosol hallucinogen at the reception

Don't worry I'm used to the rejection

Unlike those mesmerized by their own reflection,

Perhaps I didn't realize how much you meant at the time

I was lost in these crystalized rhymes

Far from where heaven rains silver dimes

All those warriors taken down in their prime,

On the run now from the Satanic mist

Can't remember the last time my adulteress and I kissed

Somewhere I recall the beauty I missed

A torpedo made the battleship begin to list,

Somehow there seems little reason to go on

The official casket came horse drawn

On this worldly chessboard I'm but a pawn

The meth head on the corner looks a bit withdrawn,

Cancel my ticket to the re-orientation

Being lobotomized isn't my inclination.

Now I wonder at the mysterious devastation

My Dear, I feel your frustration,

This president unveils a shroud upon the land

Right from his faltering hand

People too hypnotized within the swirling sands

Eating worms from a tin can.
