In Their Eyes

you're all stuck in the same rut
we've been stuck in since our grandfathers grandfather
were alive, alive, alive

the false reality of what we need to do
get a "real" job, make loads of money
to keep you safe and secure for the rest of your pathetic life

this is success in the eyes that want you to fail
this is success in the eyes that need you to fail

because the system is fucked
and yes, we're shit out of luck
and i've asked so many times
what have we done?
but we continue to support this false lifestyle

we continue to support the only way we've ever known
so of course, we can't turn back, this is a one way trip
no point in coming back, because we'll die if we do

well who said dying was the end
i don't want heaven
and i don't care about hell
i'd love to float endlessly through space

my end, is not your end, but we all end in different ways
words become dribble, thinking is what keeps us alive
my end, can be your end, but we all end in different days

america is telling you what to do with your life
have you forgotten to think for yourself?
have you forgotten to exist for yourself?

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.
