Cancerous thoughts in my head I've been searching for the end Hidden in a book on the shelf Ways to make me understand The universe conspires To keep me away from my desires I'm changing path like a shepherd Love hurts so no I won't meet her Live another day to breathe another breath In fear of death only to make yourself Suffocate in the self pity that you create Yeah And all of it insane Converse with a god to release the pain He won't be the one to lead my plan He only does exist on this plane Get up I see them dancing in front of screens Waving weapons and causing scenes I can't relate to their hivemind hijack the sound and turn it obscene Take a blade to this worlds throat and make it fucking bleed with me What a time to be alive Count your blessings while being desensitized We've materialized then turned our existence into a lie If this is the answer then I want out What a time to be alive when the anxiety eats you alive I've materialized then turned my existence into a lie Wait bodies everywhere I guess it's something like my calling card (yeah) Big blade, watch the world bleed I call it modern art What a time to be alive Rotten honey in the peasant hive Where the media anesthetize 20k week that's big money (yeah) Hit him with a 9, now he walk funny Been a decade since I went job hunting Now the Mossberg got the whole block jumping Is that what you wanted, are you happy now? When I slit the throat of your cash cow Is this what you wanted, are you happy now? When I slit the throat of your cash cow Ugh If I wanted happiness I wouldn't think If I wanted peace then I wouldn't drink Can I change myself inside a blink That's what I ask myself as I sink What a time to be alive Count your blessings while being desensitized We've materialized then turned our existence into a lie If this is the answer then I want out What a time to be alive when the anxiety eats you alive I've materialized then turned my existence into a lie
