Lost In Middle Aged Vortex

Lost in the vortex
 
Of Retrograde happy days
 
All is peachy bright
 
Smiles ignite money tossing everywhere
 
 
 
With ego comes might
 
With challenge comes pretension
 
With hypocrisy comes abstaining
 
Well at least for...
 
 
 
I've seen the dull buzzards ignite
 
Fizzling tar smoke, allowing
 
Porcelain dolls to take center stage
 
And I should be laughing, happy free
 
What is wrong with me?
 
 
 
Born with too much on my plate
 
I should just relax and abate
 
Instead of attempting rewiring
 
Like the emperor of electrical engineers
 
Maybe i should just drink a beer
 
Slowly letting my head hit the bar tab
 
 
 
The bartender is pouncing tonite
 
She has a fistful of dreams
 
Hidden under those pacifier eyes
 
Shes out for blood and revenge
 
 
 
I go out to smoke the skyline
 
Absorbing dripping atmosphere
 
Something tells me
 
I've been here a million times before
 
I've seen where all these shadows run to
 
I guess i was hoping for more
 
 
 
Like some hidden city uncovered
 
I'm searching for gold
 
Beyond the belabored
 
Somehow we just cant make it tonight
 
I'm gonna back into my cave
 
To hatch a plan
