Dancing With Distractions
Dealing With The Devil
Demons delight in their devious deeds
Insidiously weaving a thread
Savagely selecting where to sew the next seed
Tantalizing the dreams in your head
Reality escapes you, as you enter their realm
Adequately making you feel at ease
Casually giving them charge of the helm
Taming your fears, with the waves of the sea
Imagination becomes the tool of choice
Once surrendered, there is no going back
Notwithstanding the amplification of voice, they will use for their hellish soundtrack
