THE LOWE DOWN: Through the Comfort of Chaos
Follow
Engulfed in my madness
While keeping a straight face
No jurisdiction, over this occupied space
Through the comfort of chaos
I continue to win
Hollow victories on the outside
Mass destruction within
My good friend dysfunction, steady by my side
The truth, a constant reject, by my bodyguard, PRIDE
With each erratic moment, comfort builds and stocks supplies
Surviving constant nightmares, the sources of new lies
As I evolve in the chaos, my comfort grows stronger
But chaos is chaos, and the days just get longer
I see the exit door, just ahead to the right
But chaos is comfort, so I alter my sight
I see the exit door, just ahead to the right
But through this chaos is comfort so I gracefully accept my plight…
NOT, to be continued!
