SEDATED WORLD
We met in a world that we had created
in a reality that we do not talk about as we do suppose to when we are sedated, the nurses have us heavily medicated
I like to watch you suffer
I like to watch that pretty ugly head of yours burst with confusion.
I like to watch your heart pop out of your fucking chest
because they insist we are all full of shit and should taste their rainbow
There was a time when nothing could be said as they strap us down to our chairs and beds. oh they should have just let us find our pots of gold are the love that we so desperately wanted to hold
Now we must decide sooner or later if we want to chase the sun or ride the images we see in the clouds
if we choose the clouds we leave everything behind, you must decide on the sun even though we will get burnt by its rays.
We met in a world that we created for our own mental needs.
In reality, we do not talk about as much as we do when we are sedated there is no need to now have a sky of grey, they say it is now a happy shade of blue. you can only have one do not even think of what has become of my hell I am speaking of the devilish number two
