(A lyric maybe?)
Expectation
Extrapolation
Confuses the reality
Humiliation
Degradation
Leaves their muddy mark
And I see
The distant smoke
A life surrendered
To degeneracy
And I feel
The dragon’s breath
A dragging down
To despondency
Exaggeration
Misinformation
Blinds us to the light
Capitulation
Acceptation
Binds us to the night
And I touch
The velvet glove
A silky grasp
Of dependency
And I sense
The pleasing pull
A warming choke
Of complacency
Demarcation
Segregation
Divides us from ourselves
Confrontation
Escalation
Rises to a fiery flame
And I hear
The warning sounds
Blaring loud
The emergency
But I know
The time is past
And there can be
No transcendency
All in a moment
A life is gone
Though curiously
A shell remains
A brilliant flash
The spirit’s fled
Leaving behind
Dead eyes staring
