"Pulled Under at 2000 Metres a Second"

First it is the mind

Deceived by illusion

Then calmness you will find

Replaced with confusion

Honesty does not last long

Neither does ambition

The band plays a different song

Encouraged by the false vision

Habits are discarded

And old friends too

No secret remains guarded

And no defence true

Fortunes are lost

And pride is swallowed

At self-interest's cost

A blind lead is followed

Dead horses are beaten

In vain hope of progress

But bitter pills are eaten

And you settle for less

What once was may never be now

In view of all the above

And that indeed is how

One falls in love
