desolate (ny) – karoshi lyrics
disillusioned
by the ‘every day’ (by the ‘every day’)
what’s it mean to feel nothing
when it should be…
pain?
i can’t take this anymore
the black dog’s knocking at my door
(a former neet just living check to check)
i can’t take this anymore
(they look away ’cause i’m a f+cking wreck)
work+life; die young, die poor
so i take a shallow breath
and let it sink in
this life is something
i will never f+cking win
pestilence (infects the veins of every nonconformist)
ignorance (because the truth is often not the warmest)
desolate; just clock out last
kiss each ass, and smile through the torment
the flowers bloom again
but still, they have no scent
your god isn’t dead; he just f+cking up and went
i’ve been disillusioned by the ‘every day’ when everything still fades to grey
no excuses, no escape
what else is there left to see?
“what else do you have to say?”
a wage slave to a corporate king
i know that ‘i am nothing’ (…thing)
a sole statistic
on the misery index
(i know that i am nothing)
(i know that i am nothing)
“i’m better off dead, no doubt about that”
i’m a lone wolf bleeding out the pack
and i’m down an eye but f+ck your vision
i’m playing god; your dreams are slipping
are we dead or are we livin’? (are we dead or are we livin’?)
or it’s just an intermission
80+hour submission
(cardiac contusions)
a salaryman
with a dead+end plan (plan)
(bitter and reclusive)
nowhere to run (run)
so i’ll die where i stand
i can’t take this anymore
the black dog’s clawing at my door
(another kid just hoping for the best)
i can’t take this anymore
(don’t look my way, i’m a f+cking mess)
work+life; die young, die poor
f+ck
end it
過労死
