Within anecdotes of infinite depth and equal hilarity
A monolithic waltz breathes doubt into all
Bred by commissioned fear
It breeds doubt into all
For there is nowhere else
At one point or another, we all gotta live
Staring blankly
Into well-meaning smiles
Ache advances amidst
Half-witted praise and bliss
Hail Marys at half court
With chips stacked into neat little piles
With the vibrance of ash
Just realize this nightmare
Might be all that we get
