1.
I woke up from a dream That I knew was just a fantasy But I’m happy for that special moment Outside of my reality I’m losing my attention span With late fees and arguments This life has no more stimulus I only meet requirements I cannot believe I occupy these Hours spent in total disinterest I shuffle blankly over a drink And all my drinks begin to shuffle over me All my ambitions have turned into lies And there’s no more movement left in my eyes My figure has let go, my mind does not trust me And all time is wasted from now until nothing I may look dull I may look tired But everyday I’m screaming Inside this head- I am leaving I’m becoming “maybe’s” The skewing of the daily I think I’m becoming bore I don’t know if it’s worth waking up anymore
2.
Creeping 02:15
I’ve been patient in my recognition of this disease Devouring what I please I never thought I’d see my sins catching up to me The lines in my face are no longer clean I’ve caught the stink of my youthful light dimming How can I support a family with my own knees buckling under me My body’s aching, creaking, cracking My age is creeping quicker than the scheming of death Why has beauty left Why has my indulgence surfaced I look like the pig I’ve always been The swine of selfish indulgence The gift of genes has been unwrapped and pawned I am re-sold
3.
Leave me alone I am trying to destroy the earth It’s obstructing my view My view of myself I’m assaulted By inconvenience Immediate vistas directing my money I’m driving alone I’m informed Full of awareness All awake but left with no choices Obstructing my view I demand Short-term incentives Delicious fuses and poisoned water With the things that I buy Forced into financial encouragement Of short-term incentives For the love of a family Maintaining my way Leave me alone I am trying to flatten the earth It’s obstructing my view My view of myself I’m assaulted By inconvenience Immediate vistas directing my money I’m driving alone I demand Short-term incentives Delicious fuses and poisoned water With the things that I buy Forced Leave me alone
4.
Now I Drive 04:20
There is a fly in my coffee And there is a dead one on the windowsill I haven’t even woken up yet And I already know I shouldn’t have gotten out of bed I’ve got to get a hobby Or at least stop playing dead Because I’ll keep counting finger-tips For all of the lives I’ve been force-fed My golden reality is feeling sorry for myself And now I drive Into the rust Unwilling cyclic hell In the things that I trust Bring to me Something pleasing I need to be more than a checkmark I shouldn’t have gotten out of bed Just like my generation We’ve all given up
5.
Obligations 01:16
Another day, Another dollar There is no way Another day, Another dollar There is no way for me to meet these obligations Pressure is stressing Time is spending All of my earnings are worthless beings Another day, Another dollar There is no way
6.
Dear head of hiring I heard about your opening I want nothing more than to work for you Can’t wait for the interview I know you’ll be impressed I want to live my life at a desk in your company I want to spend the rest of my life in your company I’ve worked up ’til now to earn a place in your company I lay awake at night ‘cause I’m dreaming of your company I’m your qualified applicant
7.
Paramount 01:26
Winners have arrived with nowhere left to climb Beneath the sun who’s only roll is to make trophies shine Bathing in envy they can finally rest Retire in comfort Write a history text How can I compete with increasing desperate measures Keeping pace keeps me safe Keeping pace keeps me tired How can I compete with all they’re willing to do How far they’re ready to run How much they’ll leave behind Remind me What’s the reward of winning

Leaders 01:51
9.
Conditioning 03:49
I can’t be a human Only machine I am an appliance in personal conditioning Where are my rewards? Am I of fallible kind? I’ve been walking and walking Never run into any prize Compulsively I don’t speak Just frown Pulsing, throbbing, ringing, stinging headache Droning to static I speak the trick of the trade and hesitance is excellence And it’s not my first time to the parade You fit in Welcome You’ve won
10.
Salary Man 01:35
I can’t miss a day or even a few hours I squander away with uselessness empowered Caught I’ve watched every wall in my salary prison Forty hours in a wicked week Eight hours of daily downer Lifetime wastes in LCD My paychecks don’t have sympathy But I need the insurance I need the security I’ve got to look at that screen all day Doesn’t matter how much it’s hurting WAKE UP AND EAT SHIT MAKE THE COMMUTE SIT BACK WAIT ROUTINE My human desire Snubbed To create my safety net Currency and a career are required Wave a fair hand goodbye This is the rest of my life
11.
Sleepless 07:13
In bed my head never goes out I’m sleepless
