Circling the drain, or running stuck in place
A fly in vaseline, I'm only going nowhere
A helpless reach to tame the blur I became
A sunspot on the film
A time-lapse view of failure
Day in, day out
I worship a faster way out
Day in, day out
Punch the clock, a pound of flesh
Menthol morning scent of death
Crack a window, or a fake smile
Or suffocate on fumes
Fall asleep to speed ahead
In my dreams I'm already dead
Beneath the surface
A pyre of lost time
Fluorescent, glowing holy
The buzz of neon lights
Surrender to the fever
I'm drowning in all my wasted sweat
An ant trapped under glass
I'm burning, gassed out my f*cking head
Go into the light
Whatever
Or don't
Repeat
