We could have it all
Just another social cannibal
Searching through the rotten youth for one more scrap left on the bone
Cut the chord
I don’t even need this anymore
So fill me up and watch me overflow
You had to know that I was built to crumble
Scatter me,
Pick up all the pieces, all the memories
So I can still remember being seventeen
Pack me up and put me in a time machine
So I can remember when we were seventeen
You don’t intimidate me
Cuz I don’t give a damn what you’ve got to say
In one ear and out the other
I’m deaf to the sound
In the end we all pretend that the world keeps spinning around me
Sipping on euphoria but choking on reality
Close your eyes and picture all the times we got it right
And savor the reality
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
