deny it’s all about denial you are rattling on about this guy whose name shouldn’t be named for he is shy you send an SOS in text i wonder what you’ll be doing next it’s time for the worshipping you need it more than he needs you well I am not in you can count me out do you realize where you divide walking the line walking the line don’t stop when you hit the sign that says ‘apocalypse ahead’ walking the line, walking the line how long will carrying all this burden take its toll you argue:it is an image to be cherished separating the good from the depraved but isn’t your faith determining which category is to lose and which to win? where will you stand at the deck or the dock words fade away like hills in the fog

can’t stop this train the output minds just focus on the gain turned inside out in suit and tie demands screamed out loud deadlines crawling closer questions without answers will we ever arrive? in time for getting out? come in and take your share no reason to play fair can’t stop this train running over me escape is so in vain forward on full speed mostly driven by anxiety and greed building on the ashes upwards to the sky building on the ashes you look like you have lost the fight on one leg with the finish line in sight you look like you could use a rest we all know it’s wrong but sell it for the best

I am selling all the lies that I cursed before swimming around waiting to get onshore trying to get out with a closed door keep it in my head with a throat this sore made the same mistakes try to stay awake telling you there’s another way to get away and disappear in the meantime we all agree we’ve passed the point of no return we fear so much we fear so much hold, hold your breath and stay alert of what’s ahead sometimes what we see we can’t believe right in front of us a truth’s deceived any minute I will be gone when I stay out here, man I am sure I’ll jump the gun.

measure the measures is it ever enough in your eyes? accountability making up for the loss cutting costs like a carpenter’s measuring tape on our soul all runners matter but not those who go for a stroll come on come on who are you fooling i got to say you’re clever pointing at the symptoms a distraction of the real problems something’s dripping down the ceiling is it disgust? it’s the arrogance of positioning hiding the process by clipping it into products selling to the markets and we don’t bother

if the curve of happiness is rising when unemployed
would we still work overtime to gain the size of our reward you refuse to accept my claims of not being afraid of the dark but isn’t failure that learns us what to embark save your black soul before the storm if a life in luxury is fulfilling all our needs why do we take the pills which sweep us of our feet “a man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone” to let alone to let alone
so we go on in pursuit of what will scratch our itch and now you are ticking the time away now you’re down, ticking the time away don’t know how to save you from this scene which you have entered and you struggle in your corner yeah you stay awake and ponder about another tomorrow about what possibly can be avoided
