There’s a yellow pill in my pocket in case I need to calm down. Hands are feeling frostbite as I’m frozen to the ground. Why can’t life just work out the way I want it to? All these questions I keep asking leave me constantly confused. I know I must keep going, but I’m too scared to run. My legs will break apart because my bones aren’t strong enough. Why can’t life just work out the way I want it to?
All these questions I keep asking, but nobody’s in the room. No one. It’s another long night. No fight left in my blood. I feel like giving up now. Pull the plug. Off the lakeside, a symphony of sadness that forever crescendos. It never stops. Fragile as an icicle dripping off the rooftop.
Puddles become pools of my self-doubt. Why can’t life just work out the way I want it to? All these questions I keep asking but nobody’s in the room.
The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
