Once you're here, you'll fall apart
Build a life a work of art
There's too much here to comprehend

Very soon, we all begin to
Pretend that we're somewhere else


You can never stop this
Fighting it is worthless
All of your objections

Are powerless before it
You cannot outrun this
Can never escape this

Just know it will get you
Everything will get you


Surrounded by the wounded
Soon you will become one
Trying to find solace

In any place you can so
Turning to the trashed life
Cue intoxication

Turning to religion
Now its time to worship.


You have bowed enough now
Get up off your knees
Praying will not save you

From what lies around you
Disappear in movies
Various addictions

Every single dogma
None of it has substance
You are terrified but

You think there's a way out
There is not a way out
You are in denial

You cannot escape this
Can't run away from this
You cannot prevent this

You can never stop this

You are doomed to fight this battle alone

You are not allowed to give up and go home
Reconcile or escalate, let go
Sheath your sword and maybe you'll make it through


Once you're gone, you fall apart
The arguments become an art

The voices start and won't relent
We've become addicted to
pretending we're somewhere else
