Suffer the toxins

And suppress

All of your thoughts and feelings

In fake bliss

You are grudgingly caught in between

Life and suspended animation

Content in being without purpose

As you're awaiting expiration

Seeing life through a blurred lens

Problems fade in a beautiful haze

Untroubled when under the influence

But the feeling never lingers

Does it abate the void

When you consent to substance

Lost in placebo joy

Euphoric in false pretence
