What great risk to truly live
We could die alone
Our self-proclaimed meaning of bliss is getting what we're owed.
It's always getting what we're owed
I am like a machine, all that I really need is medicine and then I'll fall fast asleep
In my dreamlike state, I'll pretend I'm unscathed
but when I wake up, my resilience fades
When I wake up, my resilience fades
How long?
I know there's more to life than slavery
I'm tired of dying
I know there's more to life than drinking this soul-sick medicine
Oh no, no I'll never listen to what I'm told
At twenty-four, you'd think I'd hold my speech
Instead, I'll mix you a cocktail,
some truth and some slander
and never practice what I preach
I never practice what I preach
I know there's more to life
