Fight the Reflex

Fight the reflex stifle the impulse
phantoms of pleasure within a mirage of contentment
avoidance is no escape.

The portrait of my life was painted on a mirror
there’s a bit of Dorian Gray in everyone
these unexpressed thoughts will be the death of us.

That said they have their value
for some the only way is silent combat.
