Used to talk about effecting change
Now all we do is talk
Changes come and go and twist the way
Intentions are a wash
Used to work for a meaningful gains
Now all we do is work
Gains come and go and cover up
All the little hurts
Here it comes were hanging on
For dear life fingers tight
Here it comes were hanging on
It's gunna be the fight of your life
Used to speak with lots care and love
Now all we do is speak
About all things that came before
When did we get so weak
Used to walk with you side by side
Now all we do is walk
By each other in the long hallway
Blackout grey another day
Here it comes were hanging on
For dear life fingers tight
Here it comes were hanging on
It's gunna be the fight of your life
I gave my best years
To the worst things
Metrics and measures a pound for your pleasure
Wash away the swallowed pride till nothing good is left inside
You are inconsequential so pick up your pencil
Write and type the days away till fingertips are blackout grey
Numbers numbers pack them in
The machine feeds on greed and win
Corporate measures everything but dreams
Are made of finer things
