The Silent Question - Time, Giuseppe

My eyes are anchors my alarm’s hitting a C note

I wrote this in minors for the working class heroes

4 hours lunch break, 4 hours go home

Never enough money, here’s some debt and a loan

High school was prison, a drug infested daycare

We can’t afford college so we pick a career

Then we get married and wait for the divorce

This is a predictable society and poverty’s the source

Modern war is custody battles and gavels

We work until we’re crippled then we’re free to travel

We have kids and scare them with santa claus and god

Then they rebel with drugs and alcohol and just get lost

Paychecks come just as quick as they go

When you got to pay rent wheres the money for your goals?

I ask if this all as I go to work

The only to look forward to is under the dirt

Is this all we ask ourselves, is this all is this all?

Swimming in our tears we’re waiting to dissolve, to dissolve

Is this all we ask ourselves, is this all is this all?

Swimming in our tears we’re waiting to dissolve, to dissolve

My eyes are closed my alarm’s hitting a C chord

The cycle repeats like I’m beating a dead seahorse

It takes a shower and a coffee just to wake up

This smile needs photoshop and a lot of make up

Rusty trophy wives backstroking in tears

For the working man who comes home and has another beer

Addictions can hurt but sometimes they help

But we all feel worse when we wake up with that guilt

The problem with no name is the silent question

You can only see the shackles when you look at your reflection

Imprisoned by routine with no luxury

Bury me alive with debt collectors stuck to me

I’m running on a treadmill with negative thoughts

And when I stare at the clock it just seems to stop

Children climb stepfathers and mothers all alone

Only to work a job they hate then rot in a nursing home

Is this all we ask ourselves, is this all is this all?

Swimming in our tears we’re waiting to dissolve, to dissolve

Is this all we ask ourselves, is this all is this all?

Swimming in our tears we’re waiting to dissolve, to dissolve
