In denial We're scared, hearing impaired Or not listening?, with eyes taped shut Redundantly, repeating mistakes You see, and still, you run, the wheel Belief instilled, will run you, in circles Cling to lies with unconditional love and devotion Hinder progress and evolution You see, and still, you run, the wheel Belief instilled, will run you, in circles In hell, we shall burn When we fail to learn, dismiss the evidence and thrive off ignorance

Such a sad state of affairs Genuine souls so rare Emotional immaturity Takes no responsibility Morning robots specifically Designed and conditioned to conform A slave to fate of the mundane Since the tragedy of when you were born That's just the way people are The way they've always been Predictably unoriginal Inevitable disappointments Where is your sense of adventure? In your comfort zones I hope you fester Living for your retirement plan When you don't deserve that kind of lifespan An army of undead corpses Riding on the back of egosaurus' You view your comrades as enemies As you all burn like calories That's just the way people are The way they've always been Predictably unoriginal Inevitable disappointments Products of low expectations With narrow interpretations Ungrateful opportunists Who forgot what human is That's just how they are We all got this infection Disease called disconnection All sensory experience Dulled down by intoxicants That's just the way people are The way they've always been Predictably unoriginal Inevitable disappointments Products of low expectations With narrow interpretations Ungrateful opportunists Who forgot what human is

White walls, house pictures of your loved ones Coffee wears off, and you become undone Gotta meet the deadline, gotta be a dead guy Gotta beat a dead horse, gonna be a head case Bleak office world There's a world outside Somewhere in it there's a dead child He or she died when you went to college The future is what you called it Climb the corporate ladder Hopes and dreams they splatter No rest, as stress, becomes chronic Spend the whole day gunning for the gin and tonic You wanted to be an astronaut when you grew up Now the only space you're in is a tiny cubicle Your whole life, went the way of your virginity Nothing turned out the way it was supposed to be Bleak Office World

There's nothing I can do to make it go away That little voice screams out in pain There's nothing else that could ever satisfy That craving deep inside my brain Here in my head There is no sense of independence Here in my head All of these thoughts are haunted by spirits I know by now that every time that I try to stop it I can't ever sleep at night So then I give myself just a little, just a touch But it ends in way too much, cuz I can never get enough Here in my head There is no sense of independence Here in my head All of these thoughts are haunted by spirits Still haven't drawn the line It's always on my mind I need it every day And I count on it to stay It's a blessing and a curse And it's only getting worse My being fades away But it's a price I'm willing to pay I gotta have it bad I really need it bad I really got it bad But I know it's all in my head I gotta to have it bad I really need it bad I really got it bad But it's all in my head There's nothing I can do to make it go away That little voice screams out my name I always lie to myself every time I try I know that nothing will ever change Here in my head There is no sense of independence Here in my head All of these thoughts are haunted by spirits Still haven't drawn the line It's always on my mind I need it every day And I count on it to stay It's a blessing and a curse And it's only getting worse My being fades away But it's a price I'm willing to pay

I use my location as a shield I use my distance for desire My territory makes me yearn For connection through these wires Phone home for busy signals No time to chew this gristle It's the same when I close my eyes I haven't seen the days Not in quite awhile No sun pours through my drapes It's the same when I close my eyes I haven't seen the days Not in quite some time But its better in the grey I built a wall with states Miles of material to guard from infidels Measure baggage by freight You couldn't walk the path to crack this shell No hope for a back way home The only way is the open road

It's a gray rose on the graves of a day Popped balloons by bullet spray No eyes to even look away Red for bloodshed and blues self represented The blank spaces for failed investments The youthful dreams we've rested And no two fingers lift for more than peace signs Overused cliche catch lines won't wake the sleeping beauty swine We've given up on Hollywood Earth is no oyser for anyone without the greater good We've had enough buffet food The focus is just being, but we still ask what to do We're at the end of our rope because we hung ourselves Everything that the nightly noose tells Is hydration from a poisoned well Tightrope walker, can you feel the earthquake? Shake us from our comatose Induced by useless information overdose Security is my anti drug now that I've quit smoking weed I'll be high when pigs fly over buildings collapsing at freefall speed Now that I can reason with the utmost clarity Everybody wants to put me in therapy Which one of these is not like the other ones? The doll became a real boy with changes that he's undergone

From the cradle to the grave We live life the same as we did in caves Surviving the elements Or die sans relevance But now it's by design A grid that won't move us forward in time We keep on working for something To keep us from feeling like we're nothing We keep on working for something We only stay happy with abundance Now march, march in step with the soldiers To the nearest shopping outlet Spend and spend your hard earned bread To live the dream comes with debt It's a cycle. It's a repititious pattern Sometimes the parade is a walking disaster Look Ma I'm a useless eater They find no use for me either Look Ma I'm a consumer But I have a job, so you can't say I'm a loser

In the town square They're choking on their air Disobediently Smiling, hanging proudly A thousand martyrs Dying for the sins Of the businessman and the ignorant Swing... Hanged man Swing... Hanged man And at the moment that you've died They'll see your eyes are open wide They are a plankton sea For the whales in the machine Ragdolls tossed around Beaten and bleeding proud A million casualties For those who cannot see Blatant hypocrisy and condone robbery And if not for nothing At least you stood for something The rope that took your breath Will be your name around their necks

You know that I can't resist the way you flow Such a bittersweet aftertaste inside my throat Your love like a religion, and religion is a crutch Every kiss like magic, turn every inch of me to dust But every moment that we spend Turns into a big regret When I wake up in the morning Feeling powerless You make me so dependent Can't make a sound decision About anything When I can't get you out of my head I wish I could say goodbye Don't got it in me to fight So you can stay for one more night And I'll just kick ya tomorrow Always ask myself why I need you to get to me high Just tonight, you can get me by And I'll just kick you tomorrow You're always whispering sweet nothings into my ear But I'm smart enough to know by now that things aren't always how they appear But you look so good baby, after you make me so blind When you hypnotize my mind and make me a slave to your grind And for every dollar that I spend on your ass, time and time again I get nothing in return No lesson ever learned My heart is always breaking My body's always aching I need to show you that door But I still want more You and I baby, have such a long history And how you mesmerize me still remains a mystery I'm so glad to see you go It's not so bad if we wait for tomorrow You can stay for one more night You can stay for one more night We'll see about tomorrow Is what I say every night

Not willing it to life Just observing... No focus on it Just expecting Tear my eyes out It's logic Can only judge by what's seen Not crazed ideals Stop evading this reality Tear my eyes out Take my eyes too Throw them away With yours Lets dance in fantasy land

We always need bigger and meaner Going where the grass is greener Every time we think we're on top of it Something better comes along, puts a stop to it No self control over our vices For always bein the one with the nicest The one who has it all is the merriest Conditioned to think we need the very best We believe that all we own is all we are Everything aside is subject to blatant disregard We always want what we can't have We always want what we can't have We're never satisfied, never satisfied We always want what we can't have We're all trying to play the game Prize is fortune and fame The odds are out, will you place a bet? Are you ready to go all in yet? So you think you can be elite? Don't bite off more than you can eat You didn't make a reservation You were born fighting off starvation Some will say that it's purely superstition That we live under pre-concieved compettion Why can't you see that luxury is oppression? And the truth of the world that we live in, is what no one cares to mention Could you ever leave behind Commodities from the assembly line?

Funnelling Big Macs like water, it flows Through my orifice and down my throat Wash it down with aspartame Set me on fire babe and piss out the flame They're trying to kill me It's a fast food holocaust! Going down! Our time is up Drowning in a vat of high fructose corn syrup Decomposing Ground's where we're going Diabetes trigger overdoses In a ditch of obese corpses I got a big mess on my plate covered in monosodium glutamate Hey honey, ain't that America Red meat, white rice, and Blue Cross Blue Shield for medical All of this genetically modified chicken Making us sterile so we can't have children They'd be just like me, fat as fuck Bringing pesticides to the picnic pot luck Gradual suicide With every slice of apple pie They make pills for acid reflux Lamens for poor diet by clever fucks All the money that the doctors make Comes from guiding you to your grave You are what you eat or so I heard You're Grade F meat from the slaughterhouse herd

It's not quite like I remember These first world crumbs on a silver platter Our youth was filled with joy and laughter Before the inevitable disaster When the sky turned red Blood rainfall on the damned There was nothing else to blame But ourselves, today we bow our heads in shame This was our fate We chased our dreams into the sand De-evolution of the man Going down with our sinking continent Bury our secrets in the deep dark sea

So now we cry After we milked mother dry Murdered our brethren For a momentary high We're searching for a new way We're all dried up We're searching for a new way We're all tired out Acting without thinking Made that mother die Thinking without feeling Made whole plans go awry We're searching for a new way We're all dried up We're searching for a new way We're all tired out We're paranoid That we've stopped being humanoid When good notions are fleeting
