Swan Song

I can't keep this pace
I can see my face
And those are my dad's eyes
Insincere
So severe
So terrified
I'm holding down backspace
I'll hold it down in case
You learn to read my mind
Don't build me up
Buttercup
Don't prophecise

I'm walking the rat race
I built my own maze
But lost track of the lines
It's hand-to-mouth
We go without
We agonise
We clock in at sunrise
And put on a disguise
Pretend to give a fuck
It's tiresome
To feel this numb
This pacified

My presence
Like seeing moon during day
These words
Will always get in the way
Our deference
Begging for a living wage
Loud dreams
But quiet during the day

They gnash their teeth I fall asleep
Will I still be here tomorrow
Stuck inside an echo chamber
That says no, no, no...
They gnash their teeth I fall asleep
Will you still be here tomorrow
I'll see you on the otherside
