But I'm Certain

I hear you say
You got no time left in the day
To do what you want
You just have time to pray
To our overlords
To our billionaire overlords
Hoping to catch the crums
They leave behind

All this time and it's hard to be
Optimistic for future me
So I cry myself to sleep
Knowing this future we live in ain't for me

But I'm certain I
Could be happier
But I'm certain I
Wanna be far away from here

I don't know what's happened here
To leave you so sincerely devoted to
The ones who break you through and through
And laugh as you try to
Scramble to your feet
There's no deceit
They wear it on their sleeve
Can't you see

All this time and it's hard to be
Optimistic for future me
So I cry myself to sleep
Knowing this future we live in ain't for me

But I'm certain I
Could be happier
But I'm certain I
Wanna be far away from here

I've got no understanding
How we ended up here stranded
Between a hard place and a man who wants to kill you
Between a hard place and a man who wants to own you
Don't you find it exhausting
Earning for the men who want for nothing
While your stuck in the dirt
The same dirt that you'll die in

Open your mind
And open your ears
It could be hard to tell you
But then the pain dissapears
But when the fog clears
Will you even see yourself the same
You'll just be able to make a work around
The men you work for throw you on the ground
So they can climb up higher on a ladder
Made of broken bodies

All this time and it's hard to be (But I'm certain I)
Optimistic for future me (Could be happier)
So I cry myself to sleep (But I'm certain I)
Knowing this future
We live in ain't for me (Wanna be far away from here)

But I'm certain I (All this time and it's hard to be)
Could be happier (Optimistic for future me)
But I'm certain I (So I cry myself to sleep)
Wanna be far
Away from here (Knowing this future we live in ain't for me)
