Casualty Of The Worst Parts
It’s so very easy to grow forever apart
When you let self interest replace your heart
I’ve seen more than enough of this dead end society
I’ve seen that what matters most is you and me
We cannot let ourselves end up casualties
Casualties of this depraved, anesthetized society
It’s so very easy for the good to end
When self-absorption is your best friend
Trying to feel alive in this apathetic society
Trying to not let the fire go out in me
We cannot give up and become casualties
Casualties of this disgusting, careless society
Most people make me uncomfortable and ill to see
Most people would be much better off to cease to be
All people are dirty, fake animals in our reality
Too many people are casualties of this fictitious society
I cannot live in the today if I do not believe in tomorrow
I cannot be there for you if I am hidden in hate and sorrow
I’ve been waiting for these broken gears to once again turn
While I’ve been waiting I’ve been watching more of me burn
I’ve been waiting for forgotten fragments of me to return
While I’ve been waiting I’ve been hoarding countless concerns
This suffocating, black smoke now always surrounds
Smothering my sun and staining all that’s around
This suffocating, black smoke now always surrounds
Discoloring the better parts in me to be found
I don’t want to end up a casualty
A casualty of the worst parts of me
We cannot let ourselves end up casualties
Casualties of this self absorbed, anesthetized society
We cannot give in and become casualties
Casualties of this disgusting, fictitious society
Not much matters anymore
Not much deserves to
Not much matters like it did before
Not much matters now but me and you
