Wasting Away

My neighbors hate me

My girlfriend hates me

My dog hates me

But I love myself

Eyes locked between chasing a dead-end dream

And the blinding glare of like 7 screens

You can't lose no sleep when you've been up for weeks

Take back your time, save a precious dime

You can't break your back if you don't have a spine

Rot and decay

I'll make the great escape

You made a grave mistake

My neighbors hate me

My girlfriend hates me

My dog hates me

But I love myself

So call me crazy

That shit don't phase me

Learn to embrace it

Cause I love myself

Tick tock, timeclock, superficial sweet talk

Reach dead endlines, molded to the paradigm

Climb to the top

Of a senseless rat race, freefall from grace

Only to find

That the prize, it only brings you more pain, brings you more pain

My neighbors hate me

My girlfriend hates me

My dog hates me

But I love myself

So call me crazy

That shit don't phase me

Learn to embrace it

Cause I love myself

Can't you see

The real world's just a prison set free

Only by what's in your pockets

A moral backbone's not an option

March to the beat

Of an outcast drummer, late-night summer

Fishing for a final chorus

Watch the world choose to ignore us

Get a real job, whatcha doin' with your life

401k, only way that you'll be saved

Fuck you and your same old story

You play it safe, pathetic, boring

Retail don't count, bussing tables

Down and out

Automation's on the way

Save it for a rainy day

Your system's what got us here and if one thing's clear

We're all wasting away

We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away

We're all just waiting, we're all just wasting away

Watch the world choose to ignore us

Watch the world choose to ignore us

We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away

We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away

We're all just wasting away
