the first bite is heaven, enticing the ego

mutating the self with a plastic crown

how does one deal when truth is zero?

.

they drink, they comment, they call me amigo

makes my head swell, defeated the frown

the first bite is heaven, enticing the ego

.

it doesn't matter if this is placebo

the effect is wanted, fills me up and down

how does one deal when truth is zero?

aiming for more like a famished torpedo

consuming it all, free to live unbound

the first bite is heaven, enticing the ego

.

the haze of want, caught in a free flow

no other tastes or desires can be found

how does one deal when truth is zero?

.

the craving won't rest, i'm no one's hero

but that doesn't matter, i aim to astound

the first bite is heaven, enticing the ego

how does one deal when truth is zero?
