I wake up before sunrise

Just as tired as when I closed my eyes

Caffeine pill 33

And a piece of Happy co. pastry

I am not myself

Just a shell of a man

I drag my arse to work

Bombarded by advert- actors smirks

They’re paralyzing me

While so many buy things just to be

I am not myself

Just a shell of a man

I am not even here

Just a pawn in a plan

There must be a way out; I can decide!

And a release from this circular plight

I will not stand for this slow suicide

I will search for the eternal light

Monotony devours me

The relentless stream of labour that be

It slowly drowns me in this self- dug hole

Dulls my mind and corrodes my soul

I am not myself

Just a shell of a man

I am not even here

Just a pawn in a plan

There must be a way out; I can decide!

And a release from this circular plight

I will not stand for this slow suicide

I will search for the eternal light

I see how, shining bright

I must end this now and seek out the light

My body gone but soul set free

I must take many with me I see

By the end of this barrel we’ll finally be
