Working Life

Guess I’m alive?
Or am I asleep in life’s waiting room?
A clock puncher
Like my father and his father before me
Overworked underpaid
Sell my soul for minimum-wage
Chump change for chumps
Losing time for someone else’s suit and a dime
Our Working Life
Time well spent clocked in checks out
Assembly line out the door
A bitter grind
How can we work to live and not live to work...
Overworked underpaid
Sell my soul for minimum-wage
I wanted more I thought I’d
Saved myself from mundane
A silhouette wants more more more
Assembly line out the door door door
Who even was I before before before?
Our Life’s work and we’re all still poor
Working waking Life
Waking working Life
Overworked underpaid
Sell my soul for minimum-wage
I wanted more I thought I’d
Saved myself from mundane.

Fast Forward

Everything I’ve said and all I see
Everything I know and all I read
Tells me I’m falling behind
What’s wrong with me is my mind
I deserve no sympathy, don’t give it to me
Nothing lines up and nothing’s gone right
If i’m cold to the touch now, kiss me goodnight
It feels like you’re in fast forward
Am I slow motion?
Now everybody’s seen this before
Maybe it’s mine, maybe it’s yours
But fault doesn’t matter when you close doors
Every single word I’ve said
Every message you left on read
The star could realign but not stop your pride
Your pride
It feels like you’re in fast forward
Am I slow motion?
Now I might be much too late
But i know I’m the one you’ll always love
Even if it’s to hate
It feels like you’re in fast forward
Am I slow motion?

Without You

I've seen the ashes of our day
I don't even know what to say to you.
We've lost all the color in our art
Sketches ripped out and torn apart.
We undrew
Without You
What we have left of us isn't us.
Shadows of outlines drawn in dust
The wind blew
Our love is like all these autumn leaves
Changing and falling in the streets.
Out of view
Without You
