An Endless Cycle // I Was More Than the Weight of My Work Lyrics

The distance
between where I am
and where I want to be
is always the same

Escapism prolonging escape
Circumstantial complacency
Self-destruction becomes
a means of survival
An endless cycle

The futility of
trying to find the
difference between
beginning and ending...


...from the burial plot in the garden
underneath the ashen oak
I offer one final plea
mouth filling up with dirt
"I was more than the weight of my work
The shadow of a dream deferred
The one who feeds you controls you
Did I ever have a choice?"

Close my eyes
None of this is real
Disposable/replaceable <-> Walls closing in
Look within myself <-> Face of wax
Another 40 hours gone <-> This isn't living


Bloodshot eyes
I'm alright <-> I'm on fire
Second job <-> Spread too thin
Still in debt <-> No Way Out
Didn't eat <-> It's not safe
Fading fast <-> to be alone
Ghosts haunting ghosts
