about

When the lights go off, the spectacle of the city takes a break. Who thought being around people could make you feel so lonely? Clock in and hit the pen to paper; tell me how you really feel.

lyrics

We gather around candlelight in the dirty, gritty city. From worn streets, to popcorn ceilings, to walls with texture like sandpaper. Sloughing off our leprous skin, that place we bury our skeletons. Underneath make up caked sins.

(Break my back on the clock. Waste my time writing these rhymes. I'll fill the pews with my good news. I'm gonna chug this cyanide. Wanna see me do a swan dive off this building? Pics or it never happened.)

Only the youngest have their anecdotes and in this sea of people pouring out their hearts I'm drowning, and drifting further apart.

(Break my back on the clock. Waste my time writing these rhymes. I'll fill the pews with my good news. I'm gonna chug this cyanide. Wanna see me do a swan dive off this building? Pics or it didn't happen)
