about

This is the first song that I wrote. It's a little bit all over the place, because I was new at songwriting. I had to actually rewrite the lyrics several times just to make it usable. I decided to put it on here anyway.

lyrics

Day to day, what a stupid game we play/
moving just enough to prevent decay/
the thoughts we think are not the words that we say/
we're short of breath- that's the price we pay/
again and again we claim we're independent/
tell me- when did we get so defensive?/
clinically insane, we fear pain/
but we'll keep on going 'til we feel the flame/
ignore the change that needs to occur/
life goes by so fast that it's a blur/
everything keeps getting more obscured/
keep on hoping for a miracle cure/
cause we're too caught up in these flashbacks/
we want the past, but we already had that/
it's not bad to miss the times past/
but it's sad that we're stuck on what we'll never have back/

[Hook]
don't stop to think/
don't pause to blink/
cause it's long enough that you might miss everything/

we munch big macs- provoke heart attacks/
we just sit around all day- we're getting fat/
we don't do anything to fight back/
cause we are just too lazy for combat/
just take one more break- well now it's too late/
we chased desires and made bills we cant pay/
we got a mean attitude- lacking gratitude/
we offer platitudes, not, "What'sa matter dude?"/
we claim we made it alone to this place called home/
the problem is that we borrow- we don't own/
what's nice about this? this ain't nothing sweet/
teeter totter- can't even stand on your own feet/
we criticize- hypnotized by a romanticized view of life/
pacified- we don't realize we fantasize about a better life/
but we just bought our own lies/

[Hook]

Cause we are easy to knock down like pins in a lane/
and we're just like zombies- all we seek is a brain/
cause we're either stupid or just insane/
if we don't get that we're playing pawns in a game/
and it's just like chess, man, it's all black and white/
to feel big we just go out and pick a fight/
we could stop this if we weren't picking sides/
brain dead- will we ever be alive?/
stepping carefully, but moving quickly/
crossing the road to avoid the sickly/
we're saying what we want, doing as we please/
doing nothing for the least of these/
infect the population- the weak and the strong/
if you ain't like us, then you won't last long/
it's hard to agree because we're never wrong/
so let's all just keep on getting strung along/
attack all we cant win back because we lost it/
cause we were on track but now we're off it/
cause we're too obsessed with making profit/
to buy what? golden coffins?/
pleased with ourselves- its momentary/
moments later- back to uncaring/
this apathy is getting pretty scary/
we're intolerant but not to the dairy/
so take a second look- hindsight is 20-20/
when your life's gone, will you be left wanting?/
will your dreams still be left haunted?/
or will you feel you obeyed the warning?/

[Hook]
