Retched
from a wretched dream
and it was morning,
without warning.
All my friends have tasted success
they stole a piece
from out of the vulture's nest,
but I'm still so hungry.
What do you do when you feel you have to be
true to the way you see,
but no one seems to agree?
Does it make you crazy?
fucked dumb?
blind?
or on the wrong side of history?
just another boring mystery
the asks:
"Why do they even bother to try?
there's money to be made in
phones
and dancebeats
and advertisements."
So we live our lives
under commercial skies,
where everything looks free
but there's always a price
that you pay
and you pay
and you pay
and you pay
and you pay.
But does it ever pay to be true?
To be true?
Well I don't want to be true.
Please don't let this be true.
