Killing yourself to live

in a world that is no longer yours


something's got to give


self-preservation fades away


facade is still maintained


full function still kept up


reputation still unstained

the demons you depend on
are sitting on the shelves


always available and cheap


daily temptation no control over yourself


numbing 'til you get your so-called sleep

moving too fast


into repressed future


with regretted past


running out of borrowed time


occasional remorse


swept away by daily news


and the intoxicating force

the demons you depend on
are sitting on the shelves


always available and cheap


daily temptation no control over yourself


numbing 'til you get your so-called sleep

contaminate to operate

examination


afraid to face the moment of truth


hope for salvation


green light to carry on the same way


deadline extension


and the spiral of self destruct takes down


all good intentions

the demons you depend on
are sitting on the shelves


always available and cheap


daily temptation no control over yourself


numbing 'til you get your so-called sleep

your so-called sleep
