Uh Oh

The heart doesn't swell on request, just tightens its grip some

Better off dead is quite the thought, hope it escapes me

Uh-oh, I lost, something stole my dreams

Caught in a hell that empties out into my room

Each day attempt to plead that little songs

Can outpace the pains that chase us all

Lives like a sprinkler dancing in the rain

Obtuse efficiencies are killing us

Oh, it cuts like a knife but at least I've shed all my delusions

But it's tough to survive when almost everything is bruised

Extant but fallow, so much cost unseen

Tonight I might just practice a spell, breaking every single rule

Only free to seethe, and do a lot

Lets the grind tear me apart

At least skin will show I played the game

And only a bitter end will wake us up
