Scowl Video (MV)

Waking in the darkness
It's almost time to go
Met with punitive aggression
Try not to let the sadness show

So what am I
But a human mine
Strip everything keeping me alive

Just pay the cost
Until life is lost
But the money grows till the end of time

And what is the point of singing
When it's expensive just to keep breathing
Working hard or hardly living

Bathed in the fluorescence
(You know it could be so much worse)
Mandatory overtime again
(Pour sand in a bottle)
Where is the freedom?
(Your pure smile is muddled)
When do I cross the line?
(You're the only one who's upset)

You want to help
But you don't know how
Fall deeper into a useless debt

Security
Stolen for good
It's coming but you don't know when yet

Becoming bitter and jaded
Say what you mean but the words are hated
Count up the tolls of working

Inside of every inflated cost
Are the precious hours I had lost
To a reserved rage blistering
Little life left flickering
