about
We know that everyone and everything is not for us and we are not for everything. They, and we, are who and what we are. But if you’ve ever been involved with a group, company, or love-bombing relationship that seemed – and turned out to be - too good to be true I hope this helps.
(Apologies for the DIY audio production)
lyrics
Stoned on the Blue Pill
Promises so bright
Everything was new
I could be the best of who I am
Instead of making do
Though something wasn’t right
Behind the soothing words and smiles
Decided I would go along
And try it for a while
Everything was changing
dreams trodden in the dust
Where I left my intuition in the rain
And let it rust
When they weren’t watching
I looked behind the game
All I saw was hungry ghosts
Bearing locks and chains
They will shower you with plenty
And all it can provide
Just do as they advise you
They’ll never tell you why
And it’s then you realize
the thing about the truth:
It’s only when you let yourself deny it
That it hurts.
They never saw the part of me
That knew it was all wrong
They may lock and chain the singer
But they can never kill the song
Chains may hold your body
They may take and use your mind
They don't see it’s in your heart and soul
The truth about you lies
They will shower you with plenty
And all it can provide
Just do as they advise you
They’ll never tell you why
And it’s then you realize
the thing about the truth
It’s only when you let yourself deny it
That it hurts
