The Autopsy

I heard a fly buzz
And it was everything to me
Forever after
Is not a storybook ending

I couldn’t see to see
Nothing ever gets to me

I heard a fly buzz
And it was everything to me
Performed the autopsy
To reveal a tumor in society

I couldn’t see to see
Nothing is all I’ll ever be
I couldn’t see to see
We dream an empty dream

Now to admit we were wrong
No longer holds the comfort it once had
Say what you must but I distrust
All that glitters is dust
