this overexposure
is wearing thin
everyday's a struggle
but it doesn't mean a fucking thing
reality crisis
you're starting to slip
losing focus
losing your grip
you can tell yourself a fucking thousand times
this never was & it couldn't be real life
cultural collusion
state of apathy
it's all smoke and bullshit
you couldn't call this free
meaningless, scream for validation til your last breath
give it a rest, what'll you do when there's nothing left
under duress, praying for an accident
self control, doesn't make it matter any less
lights are off, nobody's home
no stone unturned, you'll still die on your own
buried alive in your comfort zone
gathering dust & swallowed whole
as if anyone fucking cares
opinions formed then moving on won't take you out of here
you can tell yourself a fucking thousand times
this never was & it couldn't be real life
empty vessels drowning in denial
our mouths are sewn shut & amplified
