lyrics

disillusioned
by the 'everyday' (by the everyday)
what's it mean to feel nothing
when it should be...
pain?

I can't
take this
anymore

the black dog's
knocking
at my door

a former NEET
just living check to check
I can't
take this
anymore

they look away
cause I'm a fucking wreck
work life;
die young
die poor

so I take a shallow breath
and let it sink in
this life is something
I
will never
fucking win

pestilence
infects the veins of every nonconformist
ignorance
because the truth is often not the warmest

DESOLATE; just clock out last
kiss each ass, and smile through the torment

the flowers bloom again
but still they have no scent
your god isn't dead;
he just fucking up and went

I’ve been
disillusioned by the ‘everyday’ when
everything still fades to grey
no excuses, no escape
what else is there left to say?

“what else do you have to say?”

a wage slave to a corporate king
I know that
‘I am nothing’

a sole statistic
on the misery index

(I know that I am nothing)

“I’m better off dead, no doubt about that”
I’m a lone wolf bleeding out the pack
and I’m down an eye but fuck your vision
I’m playing god; your dreams are slipping

are we dead or are we livin (are we dead or are we livin)
or it’s just an intermission
80 hour submission

(cardiac contusions)
a salaryman
with a dead end plan

(bitter and reclusive)
nowhere to run
so I’ll die where I stand

I can't
take this
anymore

the black dog's
clawing
at my door

another kid
just hoping for the best
I can't
take this
anymore

don't look my way
I'm a fucking mess
work life;
die young
die poor

fuck
end it
過労死
