Mental taxation
♪
There's a relentless strain in interactions
I keep a smile for callous relations
Your need for validation, your need to feel
A small expense for you, at a greater cost for me
If I open my eyes, you open your mouth
With arms wide open, you break me down
A need to be needed controls your day
Defined by popularity
A willing slave
Strip-mine my mind
It keeps you breathing
Forced open
A sacrificial living
If I open my eyes, you open your mouth
With arms wide open, you break me down
Mental taxation
You break me down
Mental taxation
Leave me alone
