Existence Is a Heinous Crime

I never asked for an invitation
To be born into this generation
My membership expired years ago
What's the point of being here
I'll never know
You may find it morbid
But I hate the focus on
Make believe dreamlands
Egocentric portraits
We've been fighting for our lives
From day one
Humankind is behind the gun

Existence is a heinous crime
It's both scary to live and scary to die
It's a fight against space and time
Is there something out there
We've yet to find
Maybe if we stick together
We could make this all easier to bear
But it seems hope is based in lies
Is the smile in the mirror your best disguise

Recount the days of your last vacation
A memory stole by corporation
We work until death
And wanna die all day
But we survive til we get our next week's pay
I hope there's more than this
But I fear there isn't
How can I cope with the waiting game
Brainwashed by chemical clouds
They've started the countdown
But we've just shut it out

Existence is a heinous crime
It's both scary to live and scary to die
It's a fight against space and time
Is there something out there
We've yet to find
Maybe if we stick together
We could make this all easier to bare
But it seems hope is based in lies
Is the smile in the mirror your best disguise

Existence is heinous crime
God, I think I'm losing my mind
Maybe this is just a phase
But I'd rather be blinded to the light
Than to wear rose-tinted shades

Existence is a heinous crime
It's both scary to live and scary to die
It's a fight against space and time
Will we ever have some peace of mind
Maybe if we stick together
We can find one person who really cares
But it seems hope is based in lies
Is the smile in the mirror your best disguise
