lyrics

alarm goes off around seven in the morning,
I was dreaming about you and it came without warning.
I know it's been awhile but you're always in my head,
try to dreams about a new life but keep seeing you instead.
roll out of bed, feel around and find my eyes,
but it's still dark, today the sun just didn't want to rise.
I guess you can't blame him, what's the point, another day?
i don't know about the sun but to me they're all the same
every morning's the same, I drag myself to the sink,
got to feel sociable, get rid of the stink.
it's the same old grind, gets me every time,
where the hell am I going? is this really my life?
'cause the nine to five, just can't satisfy,
I want to fight to survive sick of waiting in line.
seems my body is wasted, no one cares for my mind,
I can almost taste it, my soul is burning inside.
all the people working harder and the cat gets fatter
everyone wants to get higher but there's no room at the top.
though we may be living longer our disease is getting worse,
everyone up your purse and throw some money at the monster!
it's like a bad movie that never seems to end,
in fact it may never end spiral into an infinite descent.
this is hell my friends this isn't pretend, stop pinching yourself, you're not lying in bed.
this is life and it's as real as it gets.
