30 Second Life

I work so hard for this 30 second life

But I’ve pushed these buttons too hard

I’m trying to get by with only a 30 second life

But its hard to go very far

 

So Ill take back whats mine and you take back whats yours

If I cant feel anything then nothing will hurt

So Ill try to put myself far far away

Until my 30 second life fades

 

Go back home to your mothers and fathers

When a basements your home who needs to bother

With living a life that would have been hard

Since its 30 seconds it will be over before it starts

When will I see my own face for what it is and what it isn’t

Telling myself its not worth it to take

But its only 30 seconds so who even needs it
