Away In a Far Off Town

Dozing off behind the wheel 
Sleep-deprived decapitated 
Dillaudid consequences 

Incarcerate 
Betrayed confidences 
 Incriminated 
Responsibility blotted 

Dead friends 
Incinerated 
In reality 
They rotted 

Alive. 

Years prior to demise. 
Burnt bridges. Dead ends. 
A hell we created 
Causality to impend 

Insanity 

A cyclic continuance 
Doomed to repeat 
 Again and again. 
Just more tragedy 
Easily equated 

Karmic 
  
Punishment I deign 
Education in pain. 
Deliverance in suffering 
Salvation 
My moral 
Bearing reign. 

Controlled by one nation 
Daisy Chain – Bottom line - capital gain 
acid rain 
Acrid – floral 

Bought and sold 
Artistic creation 
Liquid – Forced oral 
Ingestion 
VIA TELEVISION 
Visual vomit – soylent seduction 

Initiate 
Indoctrinate 
 inducted 
Programmable People. 
Hypnotic STATE. 
Spell-bound 
Too Late.
