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!
