Every Man's Inferno

It's here, the crippling fear I had
A pain, a sorrow, a truth that’s sad
It claws at me; its nails run deep
It faces me like a mountain steep
I’ll fight you with ease, I dared it once
I threw at it words and lot many puns
It will happen; the seer affirmed
It did happen; this morning my mobile confirmed
It’s the monster that I chose to dare
Now I stand naked in its lair
A price I paid to live a dream
Now I wake up in loud screams
But am not alone to have fallen prey
There are many who went astray
But still from them I had not learned
And blew away what all I earned
The duress on me will forever mount
As it wipes away my bank account
But why did I listen to all those men?
And seal my fate with the mighty pen?
'Buy your house' together they sang
'My house?' heck, it belongs to the bank
And all I can do is moan and grunt
As it comes for me on every month
It’ll have its blood; if I live or die
It lives through me; the devil EMI!
