Infomercials, by Amory McKeever



In this dark jungle of cement
turn on my high definition life
Away I go on a princess cruise
but only in my waking dreams
My body sits in its own bruise
and my minds too numb to scream
Atrophied from years of coma
yet it wanders around pretending
Imagined angels take me home
lies like this are patent pending

Strap in for a make-believe trip
All wired up to be let down
Connected to this t.v. drip
in a computer generated town
Swallow another fake reality
with every energy drink sold 
All made up of logical fallacies
side effects are dying old
Addicted to living at all costs
Reverse mortgage on my soul
to cure the incurable loss
