I wake up Go to grab my broken psyche from off the mantle My shoes laced up As I carefully adjust the 5 panel Flick ash bu*ts And I'm off to see how much stress I can handle Sure enough Lost in the brush All my thoughts are scrambled When I say stuff It comes off as forced or unsubstantial Find ways to make up These days Because I only have a handful And they take up Too much time during a standstill The lock is spun Locked around your hands Caught in those shackles Chains built tough Freedom seems like Too much of a ha**le Dreams come from Get crushed And be straight f**ing canceled Fiction Love Reality Drugs Nobody has answers The cage Closes in these days You don't get to decide where you can't go Where conformity is law and it's busy buffing the vandals Don't try to make a stand Unless you wanna be another example Know your role Play pretend My day ends At best A few more ahead Cup half empty Almost out of time to spend Which is a reference to pessimism you probably won't even get f** it This is it And I've been stuck Stuck in my bed Up Out of my head Spent my life kicking over buckets I'm dead This meant nothing f** what I've said
