Material Illness

Somethings wrong The more I have The more I want Feeding the void Feeding depression Symptoms of a failing system Existential aneurysm Detained in a currency prison Existential aneurysm Obey and succumb Wealth divided amongst the Slugs Wasting your prime Content to feed off the sweat of the hungry Not worth mine Existential aneurysm Detained in a currency prison Existential aneurysm All obey All succumb Slave to the pay Living life their way Extortion: Their Crime Your daily grind Psychological turmoil Confined within the walls of the mind More connected than I have ever been to everything But still so alone Can't move without someone knowing Can't speak without someone selling me Disdain for modern living Social posturing, so sickening Pressure makes the diamond Pressure makes the pulp Keep your head down Stay in your hole Pressure makes the diamond Pressure makes the pulp Waste the best years of your life I see people working themselves to the bone Left with next to no time of their own Master's heel, pushing on the backs of the wise Spinal columns set to split open wide Can't move without someone knowing Can't speak without someone selling me Disdain for modern living Social posturing, so sickening Pressure makes the diamond Pressure makes the pulp Keep your head down Stay in your hole Pressure makes the diamond Pressure makes the pulp Waste your best years And do as you're told True ambition left rot True happiness swallowed Safety and comfort shortened the leash
