The Collapse Of An Illusion
The collapse of an illusion is the primary hurt
when you find the one you chose
is a sack of dirt.
The collapse of an illusion is the primary debt
when you find the one you chose
is a losing bet.
The collapse of an illusion is the primary harm
when you find the one you chose
is a false alarm.
The collapse of an illusion is the primary loss
when you find the one you chose
is a sully dross.
The collapse of an illusion is the primary pain
when you find the one you chose
is a bit insane.
The collapse of an illusion is the primary sting
when you find the one you chose
is a ding a ling.
The collapse of an illusion is the primary ache
when you find the one you chose
is a bizarre flake.
