i see you there feebily spinning
the lust of it all, the prize
lures us into our eventual demise.
just like the puppeteer
using your lines to string us all along.
how could we possibly get by without it?
unknowingly we abide to your trance
until it hits us way too late
we are stuck in your little trap
using us until you get your fill
then discarded like so many times before.
