Tired old man you're a wastin' slowly battling grey and blue

Built your empire as a shell so nobody prays on you

Remember when you were fresh and bitter like a blossom in it's bud?

Struggle to keep the memories free from the sweat and blood

Just to generalize, you sleep and you rise, you fail to recognize

Like the Red Queen, you're running out of steam every mile

The highway of denial

What a funny way to spend the day like a farmer deep in debt

Tending to the coming harvest, ever trying to forget

Don't you feel like you wanna run away from the mess that you've begun?

Now that they won't let you make it up as you go along

Just to generalize, you sleep and you rise, you fail to recognize

Like the Red Queen, you're runnin' out of steam every mile

The highway of denial

Tired old man you're a wastin' slowly battling grey and blue

Built your empire as a shell so nobody prays on you
