a terrible friend
we have made ignorance a friend
a pillow where we sleep
and a bed where we rest
removed from reality
it is where we reside

though solace is what we crave
we've hurt ourselves in so many ways
we call it truth we call it peace
but really it is pain that we drink
it is a drug that taints our sanity

from friends to family
and even civilization to society
painted with sorrowful stain
this canvas reeks with pain.

so I ask will you drift away or will
you wallow in the abyss, where darkness
is drunk and looking for who will join
