Optical Illusion Oasis

People sitting under the great Canadian fright

Drinking heavily in the village of neon light

Pretensions of affairs being outta sight

Really nothing more than a herd of the uptight

Things actually aren’t really alright

Such a pathetic sight

Strongest on a Saturday night

People with nothing to do

Except playing cool fools

Floundering in the human cesspool

Death should be superior

Come join me tomorrow

For you’re in fact already dead

What can you do in life I tell you

Like the pieces of gum

The black suited monsters

Crush without pity on the way to the paper colonies

Refusing the cries of the crushed innocent are needless superfluous

Come join me in the land of the insane

Everyday does not end in a futile game

Soulless butchered minds craving dead maggots

That’s what we are

No schools of respectability

Only dens of perverse sadistic crazed nobility

Souls of the living cry to join us

Yes

I’m Lucifer but which hell is better

Yours or mine

You’ll find out in due course of time
