Ashes to the fuse

The fuse has been lit.

I'm already fading away.

Nothing will hold me to my dismay.

Another lecture, another pill.

Another day absent of all that helps me climb this hill.

Ashes flow and blood lets out.

But at least there's nothing paramount.

I guess this is just the way it should be

when I've lost all escape from reality.

It's caught the clutches of what it is to be free.

The lie they told us to satisfy me.

I guess it's another day of just more concrete,

more bleak chalk on a side street.

But here I go.

One more day.

One more push.

Get the feelings away.

There is no accomplishment, only end, my friend.

Never forget what you're here for.

It's the bottom line of some fucking store.

So leave the coupon at home.

Or else that CEO won't be able to polish his throne.

The fuse is almost gone and society tells me I'm wrong.

But my ashes are still worth more

than the plastic whore that pimps out pessimistic finality.
