Wasting Away
My neighbors hate me
My girlfriend hates me
My dog hates me
But I love myself
Eyes locked between chasing a dead-end dream
And the blinding glare of like seven screens
You can't lose no sleep (when you've been up for weeks)
Take back your time to save a precious dime
Can't break your back if you don't have a spine
Rot and decay, I'll make the great escape
(You made a grave mistake)
My neighbors hate me
My girlfriend hates me
My dog hates me but I love myself
So call me crazy
That shit don't phase me
Learned to embrace it 'cause I love myself
Ticktock, time clock, superficial sweet talk
Reach dead end lines, molded to the paradigm
Climb to the top of a senseless rat race, freefall from grace
Only to find that the prize it only brings you more pain
Brings you more pain
My neighbors hate me
My girlfriend hates me
My dog hates me but I love myself
So call me crazy
That shit don't phase me
Learned to embrace it 'cause I love myself
Can't you see
The real world's just a prison set free
Only by what's in your pocket
A moral backbone's not an option
March to the beat of an outcast drummer, late-night summer
Fishing for a final chorus, watch the world choose to ignore us
Get a real job, whatcha doin' with your life?
401k, only way that you'll be saved
Fuck you and your same old story
You play it safe, pathetic, boring
Retail don't count, bussing tables, down and out
Automation's on the way, save it for a rainy day
Your system's what got us here and if one thing's clear
We're all wasting away
We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away
We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away
Watch the world choose to ignore us
Watch the world choose to ignore us
We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away
We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away
We're all just wasting away
My neighbors hate me
My girlfriend hates me
My dog hates me
My girlfriend hates me
My dog hates me
But I love myself
Eyes locked between chasing a dead-end dream
And the blinding glare of like seven screens
You can't lose no sleep (when you've been up for weeks)
Take back your time to save a precious dime
Can't break your back if you don't have a spine
Rot and decay, I'll make the great escape
(You made a grave mistake)
My neighbors hate me
My girlfriend hates me
My dog hates me but I love myself
So call me crazy
That shit don't phase me
Learned to embrace it 'cause I love myself
Ticktock, time clock, superficial sweet talk
Reach dead end lines, molded to the paradigm
Climb to the top of a senseless rat race, freefall from grace
Only to find that the prize it only brings you more pain
Brings you more pain
My neighbors hate me
My girlfriend hates me
My dog hates me but I love myself
So call me crazy
That shit don't phase me
Learned to embrace it 'cause I love myself
Can't you see
The real world's just a prison set free
Only by what's in your pocket
A moral backbone's not an option

We're all wasting away
We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away
We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away
Watch the world choose to ignore us
Watch the world choose to ignore us
We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away
We're all just wasting away, we're all just wasting away
We're all just wasting away
My neighbors hate me
My girlfriend hates me
My dog hates me
