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
