Zombies

No wonder our dreams have grown dark 
We’re living in our own film-noir 
Claws extend from every cloud 
And grip our very hearts 

They hold our minds in iron jaws
As we become disposable corpses
Icy eyelights staring out 
From the murk of a distant forest 

Our fear of what we might become
Inspires our creations
Comedies of denial for us
Warning lights for generations 

Dumbly obeying our masters 
In rotting inanimate bodies
No wonder our dreams have grown dark
We’ve chosen to be zombies
