‘Here, and now’ it’s all that fucking time could allow
I was headed south, with any progress that I made all shot to hell
The hand I’m dealt was rigged and cheated, I’m beyond defeated
Let’s call it quits, I don’t want a single goddamn thing to do with it
This dire warning, with no one to save me
Tell me the truth from lies, if being next to no one’s my birthright
Controlled my own destiny, I’m headed six feet deep
I am all torn apart, piece by piece from the start
To hold on, or let it go - it doesn’t matter, we’ll never know
It doesn’t matter, we’ll never know
So it seems, I’ve been staring at the walls and ceiling
Still wondering, if we’re really all connected and one to be?
With words so contrite, I’m over being half alive
I’d beg or borrow for a better fucking life if I could
Let’s call it quits, I don’t want a single goddamn thing to do with it
This dire warning with no one to save me
Tell me the truth from lies, if being next to no one’s my birthright
Controlled my own destiny, I’m headed six feet deep
I am all torn apart, piece by piece from the start
To hold on, or let it go
it doesn’t it matter, we’ll never know
A storm I’ve been calling is now hanging over head, I kept my fingers crossed
I gave it all, I tried my fucking best
If there’s one thing I’ve learned
it’s that all this is just made up and meaningless, so meaningless, when I look within
Tell me the truth from lies, if being next to no one’s my birthright
Controlled my own destiny, I’m headed six feet deep
I am all torn apart, piece by piece from the start
To hold on, or let it go
It doesn't matter, we’ll never know
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
