The devil plays her gambit
Content to malnourish
Set us up for the big score
And we'll never see it coming
Winds blow harsh and true
Signaling a change for the worse
Lies blanket even more lies
And we bought every one
Rumbles underneath the crust
Signaling the time to evacuate
But we're frozen in place
Glued to the floor
Change was never our thing
Maybe that's why you acted
While your acting was superb
I wonder if you understand
There are consequences still
Some yet to be realized even
You've yet to suffer adequately
Gifted it all to me somehow
Do not pass Go
Do not go straight to happiness
It's completely unfair
What a disservice to reality
To our struggling and pain
But then I remember
Lies blanket even more lies
And it brings me a smile
The first glimmer of recovery
Thanks.
