Strange Fascination

Doesn’t it make you stop and wonder?

How many of your decisions were blunders

What kind of spell were you under?

Did your ex’s and enemies steal all your thunder?

In the halls of that downward slide

Where the ghosts of memories hide

Did you witness that pale horse’s ride?

The devil was in the details and you complied,

Perhaps you’re caught in a tape loop of reality

Doomed to repeat all the agony

Do you derive your wisdom from a cup of vanity?

Barely clinging to your own sanity,

I dreamed I was on this prison planet

Ironically, I never really planned it

Life’s curve balls hit me in the mitt,

The world seems crazy from where I sit,

This strange fascination over the truth I seek

Even as the times are getting bleak

Will the world be inherited by the meek?

Never leave millions of barrels of crude with a sheikh,

A mushroom cloud rose in my dreams

All thanks to the treachery of human schemes

I thought she loved me or so it seems

Cancel my membership on the mesmerized team,

Thought I was able to read people so well

Welcome to my living hell

Fools will buy all the destruction they can sell

This is where the corpse of freedom fell.
