Living Til Death

Psychedelic reinhancements Of the way we thought we once were Semi-fractured infrastructure Can it be fixed, is there a cure Glowing in the dark, in central park We gather for you to prove Cryogenic radiation, plain as day Yet still cannot move Take your place and rise below the muck In which you're forced to wallow Have your stomach pumped of all the pride That life has made you swallow Going with the flow, as we all grow We feel our minds resist us Reach into your pocket and extract The sum of your existence Roll the dice and play the game of life But know you're destined to lose Shake the tree of knowledge, kill the snake But still you wear your own shoes “I don't wanna die” is your cry No one listens, nobody cares Pray you go to heaven, fearing all the time You'll trip down the stairs
