Breaking Teeth

It feels like I'm breaking teeth
On every bite of life I take
Walking through shards of glass
Dying to feel something else

Bound to this place by sheer contempt
So numb, can't remember the last time I wept
Repressing my need for anyone or anything

The longer I'm alive
The more I feel detached
From the people around me
The more I learn about the world
The less I want to see

I don't give a fuck
And why should I?
We're all killing ourselves one day at a time
Whether on purpose or whether on accident
It won't negate the fact
We can't take it back
Voices keep screaming in my head
Die! Die! Die! Why aren't you fucking dead?
Voices keep screaming! Die! Die! Die!

What's the point being alive
When you're empty inside
Generation of the broken
Not the life we would have chosen
Generation of the broken
Well here's to hoping

They say one day
We will live in a time
Of love and peace
Maybe I'm pessimistic
I think that's a childish dream
And now if I'm being honest
It's time to face reality
We're all a bunch of zombies
Thriving off of apathy

I'm so fucking sick of coping
I'm so fucking sick of coping

It feels like I'm breaking teeth
On every bite of life I take
Walking through shards of glass
Dying to feel something else

Bound to this place by sheer contempt
So numb, can't remember the last time I wept
Repressing my need for anyone or anything
