Salvation in Disguise

Living in a world where giving up is made easy

On the battlefield you may get a little queasy

Wish I could live along the shore where it’s nice and breezy

You're blinded when you think you can see,

I was one of you once earlier in time

Before all those betrayals as bitter as lime

She’s a harlot but in her own mind she’s so sublime

Not worrying about who you step on in your upward climb,

Deep reflections in an isolated pond

The clock moves forward but the memories linger on

Especially when awakened by the ghosts at dawn

Forgive me if I seem a bit withdrawn,

Like the face of sedimentary rock I’m eroded

Although somewhere a terrorist bomb just exploded

Living in shark infested waters outmoded

In order to get through the day some people get loaded,

So many things I said were misconstrued

But upon that brass ring my eyes remained glued

Funny how the fools think they’re so shrewd

A world of mass insanity I must conclude,

I was destined to explore mysterious lands

But as fate would have it I had blood on my hands

Just a figure of speech for curious fans

A member of a one hit wonder band,

Orbiting eyes constantly scouring the skies

She may look like a princess but she’s gathering flies

Could it be that my salvation is in disguise?

Seems I’m too blown away to recognize.
