-
Are you happy with the plastic metals
That lie in the rusting case
And the fake photos that line the walls
Hiding the chipping paint.
They all have plastic faces,
Fake smiles perfectly in place,
And you are just one of them
Struggling to keep your mask in place.
Are you happy with the broken trophies
Adding to the overflowing closet
And the yellowing newspapers
Piling up on the moldy floor.
Does this fulfill your fantasies?
Is it what you always dreamed?
The plastic smiles gracing faces
Of those suffering underneath.
Are you happy with the outdated tapes
Depicting what can never be again
And the records as they skip a beat
Repeating the same melody over and over again.
Are you happy with the piles of money
That can never fill the hole in your heart
And the fact that you are simply a ghost
Of who you were before the start.
The plastic faces are slowly melting off
Can you see what's underneath?
The devil never releases his souls,
Once sold you are never again free.
