lyrics

TWENTYSOMETHING BLUES

Passing out the lies so we feel better
We need another light to dissolve
The signs and symbols are so frequent
Without a single star in the sky

Poison the minds of men and let it fester
We need another reason to starve ourselves
It’s hard enough to shake this
Without a single reason to rise

We are, we are
A product of,
Inanimate constraints
We’re bound, we’re broke
The value of,
The debt which we’re enslaved

I guess I’m better off alone
A wake for the life that was
Pretension turned the prodigy
Into the prodigal son

I guess it’s better off this way
Than burden the one’s I’d love
And introduce them to
Twentysomething Blues

Self-destructive pangs work for so long
With apathetic motives to fall back on,
In temporary comfort
Until the day that we realize,

There was a time the future promised
A fate that we could make and afford
A dream that weighed among the tragic
But now it’s just a dream to survive

We are, we are
The peons now,
The Apices’ enthralled
If this is how
We’ll spend our lives
Why bother growing old at all?

I guess I’m better off alone
Then waste all the time and cost
It gets better, then!? I bet it’s when,
The world becomes undone

I guess it’s better off this way
Than revive the life I lost
And fail back into
Twentysomething Blues

Is it us? Will we be,
Society’s Great Mistake?
What should have I become?

We will see Suiciety
Cut and Run. Hang and Bleed.
What would have I become?

What will you say?
What will you do?
Society’s grave in greed.
What could have I become?
