Everything Gets Worse...

Born into a world that's crumbling beneath our feet
For sale signs on empty storefronts lining every street
We're running out of future and we're getting low on hope
And we're all struggling to figure out how we can cope

It's too much to ask to live a simple, stable lifestyle
The pathway's filled with too many obstructions
What's the point of making long-term plans on a dying planet
In a society that's set for self-destruction

The weight of the world we carry on our backs
Gets heavier each day
We try to make good memories despite the things we lack
We're finding our own way
Chasing light as everything gets worse

A broken system tells us that there's so much we can do
But it's hard to get invested in a dream that can't come true
'Cus if you aren't lucky in the lottery of birth
You'll be made to suffer on this God-forsaken Earth

Self-medicating by doing stupid shit to try and get a dose of serotonin
But it never lasts long
The feeling burns out quick
Returns you to the pain you've been postponing

It's too much to ask to live a simple, stable lifestyle
The pathway's filled with too many obstructions
What's the point of making long-term plans on a dying planet
In a society that's set for self-destruction

The weight of the world we carry on our backs
Gets heavier each day
We try to make good memories despite the things we lack
We're finding our own way
Chasing light as everything gets worse

I'm scared about the future because nothing now makes sense
The chaos and disaster makes the present feel so tense
Feels like the world is ending, but I've never felt fine
Viva dystopia. We're living in hard times
The spectacle is boring now, I've forgot what normal is
Been bad for so long I have gotten way too used to it
When everyone is working for a payoff that won't come
I'm tired of feeling empty, I'm tired of feeling numb
