Sick Of

from A Reason by As We Were

/

lyrics

I’m sick of walking down the wrong way of a dead end street.
I’m sick of waking up nightly from a dead end dream.
To find dead deaf life with no signs of relief.
Ignorance gets praised as we numb our senses.
Life’s laid to waste by hopeless abandon.
Fabricated goals and guarantees,
a false award system of valueless degrees.
Expectations keep you down while I’m tearing my throat out,
all because of a sound.
Here is the outcome of a lost sense of worth.
Shut up and muted apathetic, with no concern.
Passions sacrificed for survival.
Are we alive if we can’t even see a point?
In the things we do, in the things we say.
Being used and abused, pressured and pushed all for a salary.
We’ve been had, run amuck, led astray.
So much of this violence we inflict on ourselves,
with alcohol bottles full of hell.
I’m doing my best to mend my cuts I need to:
Get
Back
Up
It’s a life worth living that I want to see.

I drink my drinks they don’t drink me

You’ve got them all telling you, “If you do it you’re a man. You’ll be fine”
But you’re pacified.
It’s all part of a plan to kill your will and to kill your fight.
What’s the first thing they do when people unite?
Send in the opiates send in booze.
I won’t consume.
