There's nothing new under the gun

Cognitive dissonance

Wallow in sardonic fear while your will breaks like glass

Throw on the blinders, ignore the signs

Sink ever deeper, swallow the lie.

How far did you think that you could run?

You crossed the last meridian

As life passes you by.

Outside the fishbowl looking in

Clarity to bear witness

Oblivious and obstinate

And you're a fucking mess.

Seal all the exits, tie your own hands

Burn all the bridges, head in the sand.

How far did you think that you could run?

You crossed the last meridian

And it's all coming down now as the clock ticks on

Your life is passing by.

Awaken.

Singing the same tired old song

Predictable and somnambulant

Suffering from terminal uniqueness

When will you awaken?

Your life is passing by.
