Don't Look Too Closely

You take a long hard look, the world seems unreal.
You feel like you could lift the soil to find a floor of solid stainless steel.

When everything is calculated, it's hard to place your trust.
So you keep your friendships close while underfoot the blades of grass rust.

You question relations
when each new success
fuels their elation.

Never a doubt
they won't remember you
when you're down and out.
