You are not aware,
but your lies are pulling you down
into a quagmire
away from any reality
And before you will know
you will be slowly but surely
get consume in your abysmal dirt,
alone and aloof
And the miasma that is now reeking
will leave a metallic taste
in your tongue
and your eyes will stare at vacuum hapless and bereave
