White Mantis - Down This Way

Layers of weak flesh
Strapped over a listless mind
Cling to what is left
Gone for reasons undefined

It seems in general
Somewhat improperly
Used to squander fuel and water
Just to go down this way

Grey mule lies ahead
In a frilled and shiny dress
Let it go at that
Again left short of impressed

It stands to reason
Who holds hope is just a
Fool to trust despite all facts
That still point down this way

Thoughts erasing
Green lights chasing
Melting faces, melting glaciers
It shrinks, soon gone
Step right up for more

A different time t
To the same old song
A passion play
That should not be this way

Ambitious at best
That much we have to concede
Put the day to rest
Masturbate and go to sleep
