power of Economy vs Innocence

sobriety is what it means to breathe life back into the Dead
shame having filled their lungs with toxic fumes
living unalive while the sky is fifty shades of Blue
 through self-indulgent deeds the devil let himself into the house without an address 
squatters rights in your mind 
I'm sorry no I don't get that context 
this is the power of economy versus innocence 
hurry hurry step right up get your tickets here 
obscured unstable thoughts playing out within the furrows and crypts 
reflection in the mirror
 pupils dilate as I focus
 but either way you spin it I'm spun
