Staring at the four walls
Neon lights eroding my brain
Even in a daydream
There’s no peace for me here
This river only runs so deep
But I prefer some mystery
Tragedy creeps up on you
In daily routines and desk mentality
And now I’m sinking
Now I’m drowning, in greed
And ocean plastics
Of geriatric machines
I’d like to die
I’d like to lay down and die
And my hands are tied
And my god am I tired
While they dance
In a circle
Around the flaming effigy
Of what their lives
Might have been
If they didn’t cash it in
For 30 shining pieces
Can’t help but think that
I’m wasting my life
With all these arbitrary re-writes
Just trying to find my way
In a world setup to fail
I’m wasting my life
With all these arbitrary re-writes
Just trying to stake my claim
In a world setup to fail
I’m cracking under pressure
And I’m cracking now
Yeah I’m cracking now
