Hubris has crowned us

Posted on 06.23.21 8:34AM under Uncategorized

Fever dreams of sweat and heat
Seduced by the beat
Pulled into a fantasy
Screaming like a trapped banshee

Hubris has crowned us (tell me the truth)
Fortune’s debt has found us
Lover’s grief has bound us (tell me the truth)
Tides of pride will drown us

Flat broke with nowhere left to hide
Knocked out in shards of shattered pride
Followed a master, but they were flying blind
Can’t change the world can’t even change your mind

Hubris has crowned us (tell me the truth)
Fortune’s debt has found us
Lover’s grief has bound us (tell me the truth)
Tides of pride will drown us

Palpitations of our pounding hearts
Victims of the dark magic arts
Suckers for a charlatan’s poisoned words
In the Theater of the Absurd
