Lifers

There are days when waking up feels difficult as pulling teeth There's always someone profiting off our disease But I won't be defined by what has been defeating me We're scared of every evil possibility And sacrifice our freedoms for some false safety Forgetting we Are stronger than any of us believe Well Fuck love It's the cancer feeding off of all of us Chemicals concocting a dopamine rush It is awful but it lasts just long enough To trick the brain to think it's all okay We either hunt or we starve You can fight or run away And these days get so long waiting for someone to save You from yourself The patterns from your past Maybe this time The outcome won't be so bad I can pick the lock In a pinch If you need me to break in Lost your keys, again Disregard facades People change or they don't at all We've lost it all, again Don't trust Anything that you can reach out to and touch That all the case oxidizes turns to rust When they trick me into thinking I can feel I remember that none of it can be real We're short-sighted with self-destructive ideals Inundated by senseless immoral codes Have we been manipulated? Or do we just love to watch history repeat? We're in this for life Our sentence is being served There is no escape route or plan B Fuck your feast, we'd rather starve Why do we have to make everything so hard? Our destiny is self-destruct We're at our best when we're totally fucked We're in this for life. It will be our death one day This is how you write a eulogy We'll never fall in line Some lessons we'll never learn Why yell "fire" when we'd rather watch the crowded theater burn?
