He says,

Why do you always let dreams into your head?

It’s better to focus on reality instead.

Here things are simple and the truth of it all,

is that no ache exists that can’t heal in a mall.

His voice always echoes in her thoughts, so deep.

Sometimes it still keeps her from going to sleep.

From hiding away in her dream world so dear.

From entering that place where there’s no need to fear.

She’s always hated how fake this reality is.

How cold and how shallow, the world that is his.

Where things that are worthless are supposed to bring joy.

Instead of affection, please have one more toy!

Instead of attention from parents and kin.

Please watch the TV or gamble to win.

Instead of true value and beauty in things.

Just buy all you can and happiness sings.

Her whole life she’s been at war with this sin.

And promised herself to never give in.

But even the one with good intentions will fall.

For the power of consuming will conquer us all.

One day when she’s passing a store that she hates.

A trinket a black hole inside her creates.

She looks at the beautiful jewel that there lie.

And says; If I don’t buy this, I know I will die.

No lesson to learn here, we all lose this game.

And when the time comes, there is no one to blame.
