Lyrics
These days I can barely stand
Expressing difficulty coping with current circumstances or emotions.
The constant flow monotonous blend
Describing a tedious and unchanging routine.
Of work commutes and ghosting friends
Feeling isolated due to both work commitments and ignored friendships.
The anhedonic state I'm in
Referring to a state of inability to experience pleasure or joy.
Caffeinate my stagnant veins
Using caffeine to stimulate a weary and unresponsive state.
To wire my burned out jaded brain
Describing a mentally exhausted and cynical mindset.
Overworked and underpaid
Expressing dissatisfaction with being overworked and underappreciated.
Trade my happiness away
Willing to sacrifice happiness for the sake of work.
I'll hold on and stay awake
Committing to staying awake despite challenges.
But my head slips back and I slip away
Struggling to maintain awareness, slipping away mentally.
In the morning
Repetition emphasizing the struggles faced in the morning.
In the morning

-In the morning
Expressing a desire to break free from the monotony of life.
I don't wanna play this game
-Wake up everyday's the same
-In the morning

-Emptiness keeps piling up
Describing a feeling of emptiness accumulating over time.
Our hopes and dreams are on the cusp
Expressing the fragility of hopes and dreams in the face of despair.
Of falling in the growing void
-Of stolen years and absent joy
-And I guess I missed the curtain call
Reflecting on missing opportunities or significant life moments.
5 years went by within these walls
Time passing quickly within a confined or restrictive environment.
Born to work in a machine
Being born into a life of repetitive work and settling for mediocrity.
Bred into complacency
