Lyrics

You get out of your bed

You begin your day

Head pounding

Experiencing a headache

Yawn sounding

Expressing tiredness with a yawn

Like ghosts, living dead

Feeling like a living dead, ghost-like

Bills piled high

Facing financial challenges, bills are high

Stacks of debt

Burdened by a significant amount of debt

All this crimson

Referring to challenges with a vivid metaphor ("crimson")

But you could never

Despite challenges, unable to enjoy leisure or extravagance

Paint the town red

Unable to celebrate or enjoy life to the fullest

Wish you could just get fired

Expressing a desire to be released from a job

Or maybe retire

Wishing for retirement to escape the grind

Reality is 28 years

Facing the harsh reality of 28 years of existence

And you feel expired

Feeling outdated or lacking vitality

What to do when this game

Questioning how to navigate a life not meant to be a game

Ain't meant to be played

Expressing monotony and routine in daily life

And every day is the same

Every day feeling repetitive and unexciting

Tired

Expressing a strong feeling of exhaustion

We're

Reiteration of the theme of exhaustion and weariness

Tired

-

We're

-

Tired

-

We're

-

Tired

-

Circles never ending

-

You're sick of pretending

-

Shit's ok

-

When it ain't

-

Everyone expecting

-

Your time and attendance

-

Who cares if the

-

World is burning

-

Wish you could book a flight out

-

Or punch someone's lights out

-

A battery charge better than bars

-

Seems like the high ground

-

When the ceiling glass

-

It's hard to get past

-

We're

-

Tired

-

We're

-

Tired

-

We're

-

Tired

-

We're

-

Tired

-

Tired

-

Tired

-

We're

-

Tired

-

We're
