Lyrics
I barely get to the graveyard shift on time
I struggle to arrive at my night shift punctually
After pulling another grueling 9 to 5
After enduring another exhausting 9-to-5 workday
I live from credit card to check
I rely on credit cards and checks for financial survival
The paper money's whirling by
Paper money is slipping away quickly
And I hardly just
I can only just, barely survive
Just barely only just survive
Life is a constant struggle for survival
I'm living on the edge
I am living on the edge of a precarious situation
Reality is teetering
Reality is hanging in the balance
My mind is on the brink
My mental state is at a critical point
How will I face the day tomorrow
Concern about facing tomorrow when struggling today
If I can't make it through today
If I can't endure the present, how will I handle tomorrow?
I've got nothing left to lose but my sanity
I have nothing left to lose except my sanity
And the right to go insane
Claiming the right to go insane as a response to desperation
I've got nothing left to lose but my mind
Left with nothing but my sanity to forfeit
I've got nothing left to choose
No choices left to make
So I think I'll go insane
Considering embracing insanity as an alternative
My stomach aches
Physical discomfort due to hunger
Insufficient funds
Insufficient funds causing stomach aches
My cheeks are gaunt
Facial features are worn and exhausted
And my guts are overdrawn
Financial struggles have taken a toll on my well-being
My head pounds
Intense headache from stress and hunger
Starvation's giving me the shakes
Starvation is causing physical tremors
Too much squalor
Living in squalor and under immense pressure
Too much pressure
Feeling overwhelmed and distressed
Now I'm getting pissed
Increasing frustration with the difficult circumstances
I'm living on the edge
Existing on the edge of endurance
Reality is teetering
Reality is precariously balanced
My mind is on the brink
Mind is at the brink of collapse
How will I face the day tomorrow
Contemplating the challenges of the upcoming day
If I can't make it through today
If I can't manage today, how will I tackle tomorrow?
I've got nothing left to lose but my sanity
Left with nothing to lose except sanity
And the right to go insane
Claiming the right to go insane in the face of desperation
I've got nothing left to lose but my mind
Left with nothing but my sanity to forfeit
I've got nothing left to choose
No choices left to make
So I think I'll go insane
Considering embracing insanity as an alternative
