pessimistic and love starved sons of business
new years babies all born with the bends
they mind-fuck on the first date
and get the praise that they pay for
walk with the priests and the primates
and praise the one that gets paid more
we've borrowed time, feeling content waiting in line
scared or self-aware?
we worked hard for fake tits
false comfort and ego enhancements
the truth is your blind to the beauty inside and your vanity will haunt you regardless
are you scared or self-aware?
wish I could say I wasn't losing sleep but lately I've lost a lot
to the man with the rent-a-cop complex
the buyer of binary thought
when it gets worse (and it always gets worse) I'll think of you
and the monsters that force-fed you too
all discourse is for sale
we see ourselves with hot knives in paradise
are you scared or self-aware?
there's nothing here for me, just glass walls and ceilings
