Lyrics

I'm sleeping in till evening, I need to get a decent sched
Even when I eat, it's something greasy or a piece of bread
Eagerly, I keep on dreaming of a fantasy I'm fed
Seeping through the media and nearly everything I've read
Me confessing deep depression isn't really easy yet
Demons in my head are the sole reason that I seem upset
Recently, I've been thinking maybe I'm partially possessed
Frequently it takes extreme attention just to read a text
Needlessly, I miss some opportunities to reconnect
People from my senior year will reach out via FB requests
I don't hit delete, I let them linger just to be a pest
We don't need to be connected just to see you beat your chest
I'm reclusive only from anybody I deem a threat
Everyone you meet will influence your mind and leave a dent
We're all susceptible to emotion, even Jesus wept
My escape is pen and paper, have you found your secret weapon
Always crossing bridges, I'm done burning 'em and screwing up
Ever since I was a kid, I'd only ever do enough
To get by, just to survive: a roof, a bed, and food and stuff
Greedy ass elitists and our leaders make it super tough
I don't blame my circumstances, but some kids get super lucky
Born to money more than us, so sure enough, they're, too, corrupt
I'm not talking shit against the rich, only the human scum
Middle fingers to the ones ruining our planet too, for what
Money, houses, private jets, and flashy cars they souping up
Military budgets like they want us to get nuclear
I say they're sadists paid by greater powers that be looming above
Each and every one of us. What next, man, they start shooting us
I digress. At any rate, I'm bummed that my computer sucks
I've been at a standstill over a year without new productions
Soon enough, yo tengo un estudio para música
Till then, I'ma just keep writing while I let the music bump
Lately I've felt vacant like there's not a single thought up there
Locking eyes on autopilot 'cause I get a lot of stares
Yesterday, I stayed up till this morning, sitting on a chair
Staring into the abyss of my existence God prepared
Every now and then, I get the feeling that I'm not aware
Leading to a panic and the feeling that I'm out of air
I feel bittersweet about the repeal of Obamacare
I just gotta not be getting shot, I guess, and all is fair
But the other day, I stayed up late, just playing solitaire
Losing every game, no less, and pulling out of wad of hair
Suddenly, some shots went popping off from my apartment stairs
Thank God I'm alive, but I still had to swap my underwear
Something very funny and familiar about our affairs
Thinking back when we were kids and how they had just started DARE
Now, it's common knowledge that hysteria's what got us scared
Even when I wrote this, I was more than double-cross-impaired
