PREACH TO THEIR CHOIR

i mix up tired and wired

i can’t decide what i desire

role models all built an empire

now they just preach to their choir

what happens when i’m admired

---

probably hire a liar

to publicize sponsored attire

i hear the shutter and Cheshire grin

i’m converting my buyers

into dependent deniers

---

they come to realize the mind plays games

but i don’t uncover the one true aim

elaborate on how the symptoms maim

but i keep the diagnosis unnamed

---

i’m too fixated on my alius

pinpointing where the degradation came from

would mean excavating a long-tailed abyss

without a safe haven to brace my bass drum
