lyrics

The world is screwed up, I'm just following the trend.
I don't want to break, so I'm trying to bend.
It's hard enough to keep myself alive, but I know I will survive.

I sit in the shadows of my past and look towards the future,
The present is here but it won't last, it's already gone.
This pathetic excuse for an existence has me thinking 'bout myself,
I just can't put up with the resistance, a line has to be drawn.

The world is screwed up, I'm just following the trend.
I don't want to break, so I'm trying to bend.
It's hard enough to keep myself alive, but I know I will survive.

I don't know this path, I can't see the trail, I've lost myself again.
My life is the hammer, I am the nail, I'm not dead yet, but I'm near.
I'm stuck in a dark expanse of space, with nothing anywhere,
I can't be found, I can't be traced, my future is now clear.

Why does life insist to be this way?
Why must we all work if we can play?
What did I do wrong, why must I pay?

The world is screwed up, I'm just following the trend.
I don't want to break, so I'm trying to bend.
It's hard enough to keep myself alive, but I know I will survive.

The world is screwed up, I'm just following the trend.
I don't want to break, so I'm trying to bend.
It's hard enough to keep myself alive, but I know I will survive.

It's hard enough to keep myself alive, but I know I will survive.

Just helping contribute to the wonderful confusion of the universe. I like to make things. Music, games, art, programs, and trouble, mostly.
