Land Of Misery
Lyrics:
Pardon if I interrupt
This inconsequential day
For it seems my time is short
And I've many things to say
This world that we inhabit
Is dangerous
Wonderous
Cruel
But society
It crushes me
Binds me up with rules
I cannot take the easy way
Into complicity
Just another feeble voice
Lost in the machine
I feel I'm suffocating
I feel that I'm denied
The ability
To become
The person I aspire
I'm always an outsider
I'll never compromise
But I am tired of fighting all the lies
My body is a traitor
A witness to the crime
Taunting me with greed and hunger
Aching all the time
It holds me as a hostage
A bitter
Twisted slave
Doing everything it can
To reach an early grave
My mind is just as guilty
It schemes against my will
Reversing every sane decision
With persuasive skill
My friends don't seem to notice
Wrapped up in their own lives
And family
They try to help
But simply patronise
There is no one left to turn to
And no one understands
The misery
I suffer
In this land
In the land of misery
It's just another day
In the land of misery
It's just another day
So why do you stay?
And everyone is talking
Talking
Talking all the time
Telling me the things to wear
And when to laugh and cry
An endless stream of choices
Yet none that I desire
A multi-layered infomercial
Hollow and facile
Offices and neon
Paper
Plastic
Glass
Faceless people
Words assault me
I hurry past
Crawl up in a fetal pose
Afraid to open eyes
A failure to communicate
Unable to describe
But don't feel any pity
Resposibility
As I prepare my exit
From the land of misery
In the land of misery
It's just another day
In the land of misery
It's just another day
In the land of misery
It's just another day
In the land of misery
It's just another day
So why do you stay?
In the land of misery
It's just another day
Hey
Hey
Hey
In the land of misery
It's just another day
Hey
Hey
Hey
In the land of misery
It's just another day
Hey
Hey
Hey
In the land of misery
It's just another day
So why do you stay?
In the land of misery
It's just another day
Hey
Hey
Hey
In the land of misery
It's just another day
Hey
Hey
Hey
In the land of misery
It's just another day
Hey
Hey
Hey
In the land of misery
It's just another day
So why do you stay?
