Everyone is bitter
Everyone feels sick
We consume all that's left
Shortsighted minds push us out into the tide
If an airtight alibi is my solution
If an airtight alibi is my solution
I'm done
If this is where we're gonna go
That's not what's right with me
If this is what we're gonna lean on
That's not what's right with me
If this is where we're gonna go
That's not what's right with me
If this is what we're gonna lean on
That's not what's right with me
If an airtight alibi is my solution
If an airtight alibi is my solution
I'm done
That's not what's right with me
That's not what's right with you

No Space

Hard feelings
Take them
Choke them down
Hard feelings
Take them
Choke them down again
No space for the underground
Nothing left to turn around
Always been in bad condition
What's your question?
I like this place burnt down
Put an end to it
and burn it down
Put an end to it
and burn it
No time left to talk
Good answers never came easy
It takes some effort
To pass it on
What's your question?
I like this place burnt down
No space for the underground
No love for the underground
Not sure what to do without
this life spent underground

Bullet

Don't look down
Ignore what's underneath you
Never look down
Someone's happy, someone's sad
Don't kill it
Don't you dare do it
Don't let it fade out
Everybody says
Don't let this life pass you by now
The spark burns, it's alive
It stays here, it's on fire
Once you jump, head first
In the unknown or what's worse
You dive in, swim deep
Breathe in, no sleep
What you believe was never there
And all we know it's never fair
Why would you take a bullet?
Why would you take a bullet for it?
Why would you take a bullet?
Why would you take a bullet?
Why would you take a bullet?

Ends Meet
03:04

Long day
No grief
Just glad that I know how to make ends meet
Degrading
So close
To reject the belief I can make it on my own
So brash
Presuming
To expect everyone to excel at the same thing
You're taken aback
Not everyone is driven by the same four letters
Start working on what's yours
No one else can give you what you crave the most
Start ditching what's right
If it works out, great, if it doesn't, fine
A while ago I talked to a man
And he said: hey boy, I like your work but you need to understand
There's no value in what you do
Self-expression isn't something to be sold
Start working on what's yours
No one else can give you what you want the most
Start ditching what's right
If it works out, great, if it doesn't, fine

Collective Decline

If you still don't get why you're alive
You won't get it until you die
Periodical gut punch
Is your steady reward
If you don't get why it's all on fire
Ask questions until you're burned alive
Periodical gut punch
Take another one in the jaw
Oh, it won't stop, it gets worse with time
You're alright, you're still moving
If you went along a different path
You're alright, you're still moving
If you still have means for self-reflection
You're alright, you're still moving
If you're biased towards considered action
You're alright, a cog in the machine
If we work hard
Show up
With enough time and enough thought
We still won't make a difference
Collectively
If we work tirelessly
Suck it up
With enough funds and enough talent
We still remain unfocussed
And fully miss the point
If we keep reading the same texts
No meaning, no impact
We still won't make a difference
Continue our decline
If we're being drawn to the same jobs
False incentives, poor outcomes
We still won't make a difference
We set the wrong goals
If we just like posts and sing songs
No actions, no results
We won't ever make a difference
We'll collectively decline
