about

Long live the so-called losers.

---

lyrics

you have everything you want
and all that's in between
driving down the easy street
of the ones who own the means

I wake up everyday
with a burden in my heart
work my fingers to the bone
to watch it fall apart

nothing's quite the way it seems
and everything that lives in dreams
it dies and goes to hell
with all my suffering
concerning things I think I need
to live a life thats full of
happiness, security, conformity, anxiety
the complete loss of identity
I'm just sitting here
living with the truth

so caught up in the moment
you forget about the past
and every bright idea
the replay of a crash
I'm worried for the future
for the ones i have to feed
in your city upon a hill
in a mountain range of greed

nothing's quite the way it seems
and everything that lives in dreams
it dies and goes to hell
with all my suffering
concerning things I think I need
to live a life thats full of
happiness, security, conformity, anxiety
the complete loss of identity
I'm just sitting here
living with the truth

i've always been a loser
no I never held the keys
stuck here on the outside
wading through the weeds
I've watched you from the window
looking for your soul
in hot pursuit of an empty shell
the winners of this world

nothing's quite the way it seems
and everything that lives in dreams
it dies and goes to hell
with all my suffering
concerning things I think I need
to live a life thats full of
happiness, security, conformity, anxiety
the complete loss of identity
I'm just sitting here
living with the truth
