1080 - the decay of modern man lyrics
eyes opened to a world of flashing lights / of sleepless nights… in apartments / playing and telling a sorry tale to a drunken crowd / he can’t afford the rent / a book of matches, a cigarette, and a forgotten art / describes the job, yet his drinks come free of charge / and with each gulp his blurred vision clears…
putting depressions into lasting impressions / he sees everything and nothing all at once in a windowless vision / full of liquor and pipe dreams…
his world is found hidden underneath the american dream / which peels away revealing scabs that fester and bleed / he can do nothing but provide the soundtrack to lifes more melancholy moments / he dislikes individuality and therefore owns similar suits in which to dress / 99 black and 1 blue, bought in his fleeting moment of weakness…
a gaze into his eyes / reveals white on white… emptiness, emptiness / and yet the wrinkles on his brow depicts the decay of modern man / that’s what he’s searching for? / to be the modern man? to be the common man?
