Reality, this spiteful snake   Rearing its ugly head   Venom dripping from its grin   As it tosses yet another obstacle in our way      Given a thousand years to collect   To process, to portray   We could never encompass the voracity   Of one single day      Trapping us in its winding   It's closing malignant cycles   A tightening coil to bind us   Hold us tight in unforgiving embrace      Its all engulfing jaws, infinite, boundless   Biting down on the dying flesh of hope   Its fiery breath leveling, dismantling   Flattening, tearing down the structures of our dreams      Overcome, defeated   Terrified, shivering, mute   Reality is terror   This truth is absolute      Reality, this spiteful snake   Shedding its smothering veil   A shroud to asphyxiate   Exterminate, eradicate
