lyrics

Happy
You get
To be
With her

I'm so
glad that
Someone
Loves you deeply

There's no
Remorse
In the
Feeling

Shut down
My heart
No more
False starts

Living in an
AI generated world
Telling you
You're not enough
But you call its bluff

You're searching for the truth
But the plot was lost
So you wander the crowd
Trying to
Find your spot

Want to feel better
And you do your best
But underneath it all
The pressure's still in your chest
A heart worn by
Failure and disgrace
Why's it so hard
To pave a way
In the first place

A way to live
A way to be
A way to see
Everything
I don't need
Want to be free
Of these ideologies
That Chain me
They change me
They drain me

Tell depression
It can suck my dick
Quack quack
Doctor duck
Prescribe me- I'm sick
Of meds
On meds
In beds
Still wishing I
Could share
Those moments with you
Oh well
Dreams ain't coming true
Shake it off
And enjoy the view

Anger
Does not
Serve us
At all

Sometimes
We've got
To just
Shut up

Stillness
Presence
Recall
That breath

See your
True self
In each
Other

They try to sell your soul
In a battle for likes and views
But we gotta wake up
And refuse

No more
Doom scrolling til 3AM
Spiral down
Break the cycle
Of comparison

We've been
Oppressed so long
We can't even
See the truth
They stole our power
Broke our spirits
Made us into fools
Clowning
For attention
Growing our own brands
But now we've ended up
In the devils hands

I want a new world
I see it so clearly
One where our
worth isn't defined so damn quickly
We got 3-5 second attention spans
So we burn ourselves out
For the constant demand

What's a life
If you never get live it
Stuck in a box
Being fed
Nothing but bullshit
Oh holy goat
Let me milk you for cheese
Ignore your suffering
While we fall on our knees
To suck the cock
Of the government
Well guess what
I'm out
I'm
Done
Bye bye
So long
Fin
