I started smoking, I started lying, things were going great.

And the flames that smolder
Beneath anvil and hammer

just words on a page.
But, what if words were your passion
if words were your life?
Is it possible,
for some reason
that something could come of it?
It doesn't exist
how could it be anything
other than farce?
Lies all they say.
You don't know the person there
if could be a trick.
But what if it had gotten to the point
in life that it didn't matter?
where anything is better than nothing
and other options are still open?
Is it possible then that there's reality there?
