Reality (FAWM Edition)

Reality screams, interrupting my dreams
Nothing, it seems, is the truth
Sometimes I sleep, but inside I weep
Only to sweep away youth

It's a rabid, mad affair
This life that I've led
Is it any wonder
I didn't end up dead?

I reached for the sky
I didn't want to try
I fell from the clouds when I couldn't fly

Why did it happen to me?
I could not face reality 
Did it really happen to me?
Could have ended in fatality

Lately, it seems, can't remember those dreams
They were only schemes to get rich
The muse has since died, taking with it my pride
What once was a goal, now a glitch

I'd be better off alone
Lost to history
Why I even tried
It's a mystery

The suits and the fans
The music and the bands
Betrayed me when I had the greatest plans

Why did it happen to me?
I could not face reality 
Did it really happen to me?
Could have ended in fatality

@timfatchen - 2025-02-27 "Was once was a goal, now a glitch " killer line! Beware of the suits, fans (remember, short for "fanatics"...people forget). A cautionary lyric...stay grounded whatever you do.
