Subtle Suffering
Day by day, night by night
You all know this awful plight
Needle pricks lacking space amount to more
And life isn’t treating you right
Severed strings of luck dangle
Viewpoint full of crazy angles
All you ever knew spins out of control
Arms lost under those damn bangles
Life’s got tricks up its sleeves
Subtle suffering from all directions
Confirming all the misconceptions
Filled with pain nothing relieves
Tears here, fight there, please interject!
Space between to elude suspect
Slowly building up atop your little mind
Deceiving, impossible to detect
Until it strikes, too late now
Out of this rut, I don’t know how
Spiraling darkness envelops your sun
Nothing left that ‘Wows’
Life’s got tricks up its sleeves
Subtle suffering from all directions
Confirming all the misconceptions
Filled with pain nothing relieves
Dancing with disaster, what a court!
The line of sanity will soon distort
Lengthy lives, drama inducing all the while
Hidden lacerations are life’s retort
A lovely little curve towards the ground
Mind’s assassin nearing without a sound
Time is the enemy here, don’t fall asleep
Dull the pinpricks before your soul weeps
Life’s got tricks up its sleeves
Subtle suffering from all directions
Confirming all the misconceptions
Filled with pain nothing relieves
Subtle, silent suffering all around
Run, your naïveté is bliss
Else Karma’s wrath shall confound
You all know this awful plight
Needle pricks lacking space amount to more
And life isn’t treating you right
Severed strings of luck dangle
Viewpoint full of crazy angles
All you ever knew spins out of control
Arms lost under those damn bangles
Life’s got tricks up its sleeves
Subtle suffering from all directions
Confirming all the misconceptions
Filled with pain nothing relieves
Tears here, fight there, please interject!
Space between to elude suspect
Slowly building up atop your little mind
Deceiving, impossible to detect
Until it strikes, too late now
Out of this rut, I don’t know how
Spiraling darkness envelops your sun
Nothing left that ‘Wows’
Life’s got tricks up its sleeves
Subtle suffering from all directions
Confirming all the misconceptions
Filled with pain nothing relieves
Dancing with disaster, what a court!
The line of sanity will soon distort
Lengthy lives, drama inducing all the while
