MIND LAPSE

how long has this been going on?
grasping, clutching, suffocating
with brand new gadgets and distractions
minds overwhelmed - repercussions
solutions shall never be unearthed
and daddy told me it’d be like this
he told me that one day everything
would end up like shit
and be shit all the way.

do you see the fortunes of others
being shoved into our jaded faces
growing more and more out of balance
i can’t even afford to fucking kill myself

the taste of success tastes of shit
the taste of success is that of greed
record breaking profits
mirror record breaking debts
how many days do i drink to forget?
