The Same Old Shit

Tongue tied and twisted
words waiting by the gallows
they hang now
silence their end
once again they've been sentenced
to a premature death
their corpses are rotting decaying each breath
another night
I know it's the same old shit every other day
feeling the burn
from the inside out
it rips the will away
silently it feeds
it rips the will away

(chorus)
So, Make sense of this now
I give you the challenge
With mind's eye closed shut
Nourish the burn
Dreaming the people falling
to their knees praying
but faithless are those who fall
screaming
help me help us
help me help them
help me help myself

I'm dreaming I am awake
I'm dreaming we're all fake
the reality is
there's nothing at stake

so make sense of it now
with mind's eye closed shut
nourish the burn it will rip you away
it will keep you okay
just more of the same old shit
every day

(chorus)

Ups and downs and all arounds
Yes it's all a game
In your head and in the end
It all comes back around
Fuckin' up hard times burn
Heating up
fan the flame
who's
card laid down
card played
the path you take
is the road you found

Take a look to see where you're at
A far cry from what you thought
All the lessons learned aren't worth a cent
And there's no wisdom to be bought
Too much to chew
Fed up with the feast
Losing a mind to become a beast
A word of advice
Run as far as you can
Never look back
Just run as far as you can
Never look back

Sailing that ship
That left port long ago
Marooned just a day before the anchor would drop
Flights they pass by, too far overhead
Just remember it's a game when it's all done
And said
