Verse 1 I'm getting wasted On the thought of cashing out I fucking hate it So I plant the seeds of doubt You ask if I am well I say I'm doing swell You know I try to hide How dead I feel inside Pre Chorus You're gonna be alright You're gonna be okay You'll make it through the night It's just another day It's just another day I think you'll be okay If I can make it through Then so can you Chorus Wake up Get sad Go to work Feels bad Verse 2 Im getting fucked up On the thought of breaking down Is this just bad luck Am I headed underground You ask if I am well I say I'm doing swell You know I try to hide How dead I feel inside

VERSE Like the rest you're as dumb as you choose No thoughts inside just glued to fox news We've had enough let's put you to bed You're better off buried deep with the dead You're just a bastard can't you see Just stay the fuck away from me Pre Chorus/Chorus You're a bastard Make no mistake You oughta die faster It's not too late BASTARD Verse 2 Like the rest you're as dumb as you choose No thoughts inside just glued to fox news We've had enough let's put you to rest Bury your bones it's for the fucking best Pre chorus 2 Shut your fucking mouth You make me fucking sick

Verse My parents said It's all in my head I'm fucking 30 I rather be dead My back hurts And every fucking bone I hate everyone Just leave me alone Pre Chorus It's creeping in The kiss of death It's creeping in My dying breath Chorus Nothing to say Nothing to do But waste away Just me and you Nothing to say Nothing to do But waste away Cause you're 32 Verse 2 My parents said It's all in my head I'm fucking 30 I rather be dead Another fuck With a dead end job Just rotting away With these goddamn songs Outro Spark a bowl, And Let's take a hit Let's reminisce Like when were kids Growing up, It feels like a chore Another year, It's all just a bore Just the hits, with hours to burn Don't call it quits, theres pages to turn Life is funny, we dwell on the past We're fucking 30 this shit came too fast

01- Another Day Same Doom oh hell, you could probably use a lil help, im used to feeling down, myself, i used to use a lie for a remedy barely getting by everyday was my own worst enemy i know its hard to let go and and step up feet too comfy got you feeling stuck with everyone else moving on without you its hard to not feel all alone i felt the end was approaching me, unhealthy obsessions to set me free from the cycling thoughts of humanity collapsing along with myself, all apologies cuz underneath it all, still have a dream of finding what matters most but ive just gotten a bit off course down a road with problems that i should have known i know we never meant to end up there but theres a chance to find peace in here. this worlds a game, we play where some get lost , and some think they know the way this place is burning like nobody cares theres no one to help, everything in despair if thats not enough to make you crazy i think you got more problems than everything here all you gotta do is make it through the day but i dont know with the state of things (how) they keep saying in the end itll be ok but another year is gone and im still around, so i guess thats hope for someone else to follow? although im going all through my thoughts trying to piece my mind together i once lost the struggle always seems the same theres always some things that never change existing in the present, only love and hope, keep my dumb head afloat memory just fades and fades and fades and fades. the fuck away let imagination build a world worth living in to bring me the next day

02 - Down And Out Til You Found Me i thought id end up dead before we met you saw the worst of me and said lets get you help. theres still hope left in that head. i cant even tell you how much it really meant for someone else to see a future while this loser had no chance do you remember the time we said, theres no one id rather be with through the worst of times living out our dreams until we're dead do you remember the time we said, theres no one id rather be with watching this whole world fold onto itself until the end. on a path to nowhere, while i was no one and nothing mattered, no self respect or respect for others, i look back and laugh, and wonder how things turned out as well as they did. or maybe karma hasnt caught up to me yet, but i do believe to pay it forward in the end. 3rd chance, lets dance, cuz before it was death, skanking to the beat, holding my hand. if i hadnt been that bad, would you've seen the potential to rectify? a cloud of madness loomed over our heads until a ray of sun gave new life to begin do you remember the time we said, theres no one id rather be with through the worst of times living out our dreams until we're dead do you remember the time we said, theres no one id rather be with watching this whole world fold onto itself until the end. sometimes id rather die than face this all alone a lifetime just to find a place to call a home without you by my side id never thought id feel love inside these stubborn thoughts and empty heart of mine u were always there while i embarrassed myself, and acted a fool in this life like i didnt care and somehow managed to stand me upright while in my head the world was upside down and down and down i kept digging down into that hole that you pulled me from i cant thank you enough, for the help making me the person that i've become

03 - Somewhere Inbetween a loner is someone like me, who cant function in crowds and also gets lost in the clouds alone on the couch, looking for answers to life thatll never be found a rebel hates cops, breaking the laws disrupting the system to fall and following dreams only one can achieve by destroying the demon inside And A nihilist knows there’s no point to this What’s the meaning when everything seems to be a mess that you can never detach yourself from emptiness. and i'm still not sure what the hell i am in this world just another host to pass along this soul into the codes that control our existential role. into the depths beyond this insanity nooooo, desire left To find something to believe in Existing questioning everything,that’s helped me process this hell, what have i done to help better myself keep wasting away with nothing worth it to show can't help but feel like I’m all alone The days keep passing before i can process my thoughts, and i can make sense of these memes i once was a kid who was lost, now searching for something thats more than a dream an anarchist wants to abolish the state, create free spaces, dissidents, spread love and peace, seek autonomy, and mutual aid.. hmmm satanists also defy the tyrant gods, believe in justice over laws, compassion, and empathy. Basic needs for a sentient being. i guess this stuffs all been ingrained inside, identify with some for now, cuz meanings evolve, what once was punk 's not punk at all. Questioning everything, that i used to know. what have i done to help better the world? keep wasting away with nothing to show i can't help but feel left all alone keep loving yourself sometimes thats all that you need dooooooon't give up today hope can change everything learn from past mistakes spread the love and lose the negativity you gotta take this energy and turn it into gold, and show, this world, theres a better way
