No Escape Lyrics

Day on and off
It's just the same old struggle
Too craven to face one's own problems
Ever so often
One tries to escape
Just then to be pulled back into reality
The futile excuses one makes
To pretend integrity out of self-protection

Decomposing in a disgust of despondency

Hostage of self-incurred immaturity

Decadence a monument of arrogance

Nihilistic fatalism
A natural born categorical pessimist

No solace
No hope
No escape

There can not be a right life
Amidst wrongs

Everything is going south anyway
But I am inclined not to follow

As the gap between good will and malevolence increases
I am terrified to put one foot in front of the other
Lest I fall through the floor
But those who do not move do not notice their chains
