You own that most beautiful house on the hilltop
overlooking the horizon
and the deep blue sea

you drive the most exotic cars
one we see in the movies
and most of us can only imagine owning,
the vacations you take
the parties you throw,
the dreams you sell,
the smile you wear
you are the epitome of what success is

but despite such more than perfect life
you are delirious from inside
a plastic life you live
for you can never settle with what you have
you are always chasing the next best desire
you, my friend, is captivated
in a web of avarice
