lyrics

shot in the head point blank range with a bullet of painful reality

I won a depression for selling the fun,

There’s no point in running, the damage is done

Dissolving illusions of choice one by one

until every last bit of future is gone
We squandered the means of control we once had, despising displays of despair
don’t bore me with details, just make this shit run
on cheapskate repairs now the damage is done

Simplified thoughts / streamlined bodies succumb

to multiple organ failures and mind-numbing seizures

Because we sneer at those who don’t seem fine, when you’re on the job you smile and shine.
If you feel your life’s stuck in decline, you shall rise above to smile and shine

Until our charade will have broken your spine
