Acid wash polish

Verisimilitude through obfuscation

Just wrangle some smoke and mirrors

Because people are viscous in their fears

Everything is fake

As long as the surface is placid

Running well enough

Until you can run away

Band-Aids upon Band-Aids

Calcifying please hold another day

Cynical in the mire

The fog is rotting dampening all fire

Jaded from the moss

Even integrity is dross

Cyanide foam bog
