Broke and hungry

Always running on empty

Tired but can't sleep

My lifestyle is poverty

If I don't eat I might throw up

Don't have enough to get what I need

Just enough to get fucked up

But not enough to eat

Scrounging for anything

Starving to escape this suffering

Aspiration is not what it seems

There's no future waiting for me

Can't cash in on my dreams

Passion doesn't fill pockets

Nothing is what it seems

There's no secret scheme

Calling me to unlock it

The root of all evil is dying on me

I'm rotten from my misery

It'd be easier if I were six feet deep

But buying a casket isn't fucking cheap

I'm so sick of it all

I'm so sick of it all

I'm so sick of it all

I'm so sick of it all

I can't say I'm dead

But I know I'm not alive

I'd rather starve my whole life, chasing a lie

Than forfeit my life, strangled by a suit and tie

I don't want to give in

What's left would be ruined

Going back to giving up hope

Would leave me no choice but to

Choke at the end of a rope

I gotta get a break

No matter what it takes

It'd be such a fuckin waste

To throw it all away

Been burned so many times it doesn't faze me

Blurred so many lines I've gone crazy

Trapped, alone with myself

Exhausted from these ruminating thoughts

Shoving these feelings down to the bottom of a bottle

Then drinking it down

I can't say I'm dead

But I know I'm not alive

I'd rather starve my whole life, chasing a lie

Than forfeit my life, strangled by a suit and tie

I don't want to give in

What's left would be ruined

Going back to giving up hope

Would leave me no choice but to

Choke at the end of a rope

Submerge myself below the depths that I know

Until I can't remember

Where I came from

I'll follow my sorrow
