Under the skin there are veins and bones
connected to the exits off the highway roads
and the last time you and I ever spoke
there was no goodbye there was no hello
But I remember when you were still in bloom
before they came to replace your heart with a tomb
Wave to the waves as you sail away alone
there's no such thing as change
the change machine just broke
Now were caught in the currents
of this concrete sea
it has us swerving further out of reach
I work all day
stay up all night
I dream of sleep but I never close my eyes
(every night I lay alone in the dark every night drags on and on and on)
I am just a soldier
yeah just following orders
Rip Repent Repeat (the process starts all over)
Dying for a reason to live
divided by ambivalence
my motives are pre programmed
I am a modern man
They stole your soul
made a map of your skin
now you hide in the handshakes of men
I feel strangely hollow inside
so here we are so goodnight
Bitter.
Been drinking.
Every night inebriated.
Spent all his life
going out and celebrating
Alive and numb.
I've grown so tired
waiting for this year to expire.
He drank and drugged himself to sleep
in the cold sharp rain in the middle of the street
so spare some change some wisdom or advice
I've paid my way thru my mistakes
but now they've raised the price
