You think this is living? This is just waiting for the next hit

Woke up on the wrong side of a concrete ceiling

Another round of existence, no manual, no meaning

The clock don't care, the rent don't sleep

The mirror lies and the promises creep

I was raised on the sound of a slamming door

And the art of pretending you want nothing more

Than the scraps they throw when the feast is done

Yeah, survival's a joke and I'm the only one laughing, son

Life's a machine and I'm stuck in the teeth

Every victory tastes like a funeral wreath

You build and you break and you beg for relief

But the world doesn't care — it just grinds you beneath

So fuck your soft landing, I'll take the collapse

I've been bleeding in the gears just to fill in the gaps

If the light at the end is a train, let it hit

I'm too tired to run, but I'm too numb to quit

They want a quiet war, no blood on the news

A generation sedated with subscription blues

I learned to count bruises before counting cash

And built a cathedral from the broken glass

Pressure a blessing, depression a lesson, aggression a weapon, progression aggressive

I sever the pleasant, I measure the present in seconds of recklessness, never confessing

They ask how I'm living, I laugh and I'm guessing — the stress is a necklace, the debt is aggressive

The flesh is a prison, the message is reckless, but check this — I'm still in possession of self, yeah

I was forged in a winter that never saw spring

Every god that they sold me was a broken machine

Life's a machine and I'm stuck in the teeth

Every victory tastes like a funeral wreath

You build and you break and you beg for relief

But the world doesn't care — it just grinds you beneath

So fuck your soft landing, I'll take the collapse

I've been bleeding in the gears just to fill in the gaps

If the light at the end is a train, let it hit

I'm too tired to run, but I'm too numb to quit

I searched for a reason in a year with no seasons

Traded my anger for something that breathes

But the silence kept asking

"What do you believe when believing costs everything?"

LIFE'S A MACHINE AND I'M JAMMING THE TEETH!

Every scar on my skin is a receipt for belief!

You build and you break and you beg for relief

BUT THE WORLD DOESN'T CARE!

So FUCK YOUR SOFT LANDING, I'll burn the collapse!

I've been bleeding in the gears — watch me rewire the traps!

If the light at the end is a train

THEN I'M DRIVING THE HIT!

Not tired of running

I'M JUST DONE WITH YOUR SHIT!

You are not broken. You are just... calibrated for a worse world than this one
