lyrics

Trapped in cycles of addiction
of self-abuse and mass decay
These substances medicate depression
but then they just increase the fucking pain

You're staring blankly at the future
The signs all say no second chance
You count the hours and the minutes till it's 7
You count the days and years until the bloody end

It's a dead end.

I see no prospects for the vision of a future
within the confines of this killing state
Enclosed by walls that block the sunlight from the city
where we waste away the final days.

I thought one day I saw an exit in the distance,
it didn't seem so far away.
But that was only an illusion I was dreaming
and that was yesterday.

It's a dead end.
Last dying end.
