Meditations of the Damned

You run like hell just to wear yourself out Keep up while falling flat Tired, constantly tired, never enough sleep in a day Shut your brain down, liquefy your thoughts, keep your mouth shut while keeping it open Your run like hell in circles around the room Keeping up while spinning down Tired, constantly tired, never enough time in a day Shut your system down, liquefy your life, keep your brain dead while keeping it alive Your run like hell, pretending to be alive Keeping up with others falling down Tired, constantly tired, never a new moment in the day Shut down your life, shut down your soul, keep your eyes open while hoping to keep them shut
