Escapism and Lethargy

Infinite days enjoying the holiday of death
An alternate reality, righteously obsessed

Nightmare pantomime plays on my TV screen
If you liked Brexit, you'll love covid-19

Forbidden truth, forgotten lies
I hide from grief and fantasise
Escapism and lethargy
Distraction from insanity

The Andromeda galaxy has been colonised
Virtually as I languish in dank quarantine

Pathetic leaders, lying with every breath
If you liked Grenfell, you'll love mass care home deaths

Reality monstrosity
Replaced by epic fantasy
Escapism and lethargy
Distraction from insanity

Dystopian conspiracies used to be fiction
Doomsday preppers blaming 5G, winning elections

Hero pensioners wheeled out for all to see
If you liked the blitz, you'll love child poverty

The greatest saga of my time
Is observed as I soak in wine
Escapism and lethargy
Distraction from insanity

I feel a massive disturbance in the web of life
And experience this sadness via metaphor

Evil is revealed yet somehow still concealed
If you liked Saville, you'll love the peado prince

Nihilism claws at my mind
Existentialism sublime
Escapism and lethargy
Distraction from insanity
I convert negativity
Into this music before thee
Escapism and lethargy
Distraction from insanity
