Escapism:
The most popular drug
Euphoric, a shot of adrenaline
With a sprinkle of nostalgia
It’s all in the mind—
What harm could be done?
Just to slip on those rose-colored glasses
For even a little while—
Who could possibly be hurt?
We all have problems to escape
Troubles that haunt us
So, go ahead, have fun
Nurture the child inside
Heal those aching wounds
But remember:
With all things, moderation
