MOUTHS OPEN WIDE IN THE CLINIC
A REGIMENTED DOSE TO DIMINISH
THE REALITY INSIDE TO ESCAPE FROM
YOUR PROBLEMS COINCIDE WITH SELF-MEDICATION
DROWN IN AN OCEAN FULL OF PILLS
AS THEY HAND OUT MORE REFILLS
THE DOCTOR BANKS YOUR CHECK
A NOOSE TIGHTENS AROUND YOUR NECK
SIDE EFFECTS LAST LONGER THAN THE SYMPTOMS
A BLANKET OF GREY CONSUMING EVERYTHING
THIS IS A CYCLE A PSYCHOSOMATIC LIFE
BUILT ON LIES AND SELFISH BARGAINING
ONCE THE NEEDLE FILLED THE VOID
THAT THE DOWNERS MISSED
THE ECSTASY DEPLOYED A RAZOR TO YOUR WRISTS
WAS THIS A DREAM OR A LAPSE IN THE CONSTRUCT
A NORMAL LIFE DERAILED BY A HEDONISTIC LUST
IS IT THE CORPORATE SLAVES OF PHARMACEUTICALS
THE ONES WHOM YOU LOVE OR THE ONES WHOM YOU TRUST
