One By One

I feel the ground moving under my feet
All I know is where I don’t belong
I’m not interested in sticking around
Just for the sake of a good time
Houses rotting from the the inside out
And everybody’s pissed out of their fucking minds
Are you seriously talking to me about community?
One by one, shoot off my fingers one by one
Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here?
When the rebels lose the spirit of rebellion
You’ve got nowhere left to go
But I know I’m not alone
We are defined by what we stand
Against, and the weight of unfulfilled expectations
This culture that threatens to engulf you
Is this anyway to go about fighting it?
I don’t want to be born again
I don’t need anybody to speak for me
I’m not interested in humoring illusions
Or apologizing for the sake of sentiment
