lyrics

if you gave me wealth
perfect health
would I just be
a million dollar sad face?

i could run and hide from the cut deep inside
but it wouldn't cure my self loathing or procrastination

i know, i'm idle
a shadow, a shell
and they know, we'll follow
a stain glass of flaws

i'm not the answer
or the joke
i'm not the action
or the quote
if I just look away
would all this sadness dissipate?

a sick homeless body shuffles across the street

so here we go
what's my next distraction?
out my window
it's all shadow homes and rich vs the poor
dominoes, what's our last straw faction?
I've got no hope
left for you
left for us all

another ugly face
swallowed up with rage
and the friendly waves
are condensing with this madness
one final thought, cherry pick our stance
less it contradicts our heritage or our
convenience

i know that you know
"1st world" know it all's
and they know, we'll follow
the letter by law

i'm not the answer or the joke
i'm not the action or the quote
if i just fade away
would all this sadness dissipate?
a Rubik's cube of egomaniacal bias

here we go
what's our next subtraction?
out my window
commodity necessities
sustainability non-sensical
dominoes, what's with our retrograde evolution?

i've got no hope
left for me
left for us all
