It's all just a breeze, as a leaf I'll follow along
By sunrise it's here, at sunset everything is lost
The cement of life will fade away, corroding while retaining semblance of structure
It'll retain beauty, but is burnt within. Struggling to maintain smiles
With broken teeth

Taking out loans, with negative balances swarming like flies
Dreaming of forever, when tonight is all that's left or that will be
Can you believe we thought it would last until greener pastures
Oh, please just last

These cigarettes are all that ask
For my time, others just seem to laugh it all goodbye
I'm really trying, my knuckles are bruised and the time's going by like a waterfall
Thrashing down, crashing around, and we believed that it would all be okay
That this is the world, this is the way it toils

*******, I’m running out of my own mind

Could you call out? Could you sing with the tune of beautiful destruction
I know it's over, and the worst part is the denial that it's all so gorgeous
When it's rotten, inside and out, born of plaque
I could go for days, for nights singing anthems for the alienated
The stars sing my song, and the moon mourns along with my loss

Carrying my own weight where there was once two
To offset the burden of lingering life until my knees buckle and I, I finally die
It’s so cold, even the sun is hiding somewhere up above
Just like when you’re here, you’re miles away
In a life where you don’t believe I belong anymore
