Eat The Cycle

Are you bored of your boredom?
Fingers feeling worked to the bone?
Afraid of the life that you’ve made?
You’re not alone
Who says the best is yet to come?
The future’s blanker than the black of my lungs
I’ve seen the things we become — it’s a cycle
And it’s only begun
Shit drips from the lips of the grins in the gallery
You pinch pennies for pension, upper tiers up their salary
No one rests in peace
Nothing deviates
But the deviant mind maligned with ill will
Feeling justified
Who says the best is yet to come?
The future’s blanker than the black of my lungs
I’ve seen the things we become — it’s a cycle
And it’s only begun
Who says the dawn of man’s behind us?
Who says that wisdom ever finds us?
Ties will bind us
Lights will blind us
You’re not alone
Ties will bind you, indentured 9 to 5
Nobody blames you, you gotta eat to survive
Ashamed to ask for what you’re being denied
You’re made your sacrifices
I’ve made mine
Ashamed to ask for what you’re being denied
But everybody’s gotta eat
