lyrics

Strung out daylight, rattling my chains
Basic instinct grumbling in pain
Seldom vices are ever welcome here
Store bred habits shopping thru the years
The daily struggle the doorman’s deed
Keep to the kindness and life is free
Could it be free suit guaranteed
Signed sealed keep that receipt
Makeshift bedframe, sure can lift you up
But what are inches compared to mountaintops
Focused young pill head mapping out the stars
Clouds full of soundless sound cloud superstars
The daily struggle, the doorman’s deed
Keep to the kindness and life is free
Photo finish post on a faceless feed
Placed under credits with the peanut gallery
No god will be on your side
Great news from the fakest people alive
Supporting a simpler mind
Stuck struggling for wealth and just a glimpse of the winning prize
What can you do this world is cruel
Shake the right hand to make you cool
Strung out daylight rattling my chains
Common interest soaked inside my veins
A slow recovery Shirley take your time
That damn retriever’s back to the starting line
