I Waited at the Top of the Mountain

Last week I dreamed I made it to my home
But that was six years ago
Maybe that's why I never sleep anymore
Sit in this room all alone
Walls straight-jacket beige, and cubes IBM blue
But then my wallet was saved
And then my lungs caved, eyeballs microwaved
I'll see you next Monday

Cause you don't know regret
Til you've lost your own bet
That you made on yourself
23, cheers to health
At this rate, you'll be drowned
By the echo of the watch being wound
At least you made your mother proud

I waited at the top of the mountain
Just to prove I was there
Old photos online, my only breadcrumb trail
Seems like we'd go on a tear
Pornos and dro and endless pizza dough
Hardened up from the inside
One of a billion, million bitter souls
Suburban lullaby

Cause you don't know fear
Till it looks at you in 20 years
Cross the hall, cross the farm
Breeding sows breeding profit for unknown men
Who'd we help, all this time
Dividends with bitter ends so I'll just pretend
That I really was a man
