Hallways (Part 1) Lyrics

I woke up and stepped outside
Shielded my eyes from the sun and felt it's warm on my skin
I smiled, everything is well and in its right place

What is right?
What is wrong?
Is there a God?
When I am gone
Who do I pray too
When life shows it's face
Are we stuck floating
In the black of space
Do we even matter
To anyone at all
Thousands of years from now
Will our names they call?
Will our home still be here
Or will it burn
Our remnants filling
Oblivion's urn

Who in charge of my mind
Is it me
Is it a suited man
Or a company
Is my mind a palace
Torn down by sin
Or is a shack
That knows how to win
Should I hate my neighbor
For all his flaws
After all, we are in this place
Together and lost
How will the universe
End it's reign
Will we become zero
Or eternity gain


What a future
Smart and mature
Goals set for sure
Job, money secure

Top selected
Deep connections
Grabbing attention
Begin ascension!

The cheers are loud
Resounding sound
Peace
Your future will be found

The workload
The social status quo
The passions flow
Right out the door

Reached the top
Dollars never stop
No ambition drop
Your life is turned off

The cheers are loud
Your smile is proud
Peace
Your heart has never made a sound

This is your life now
Wasting light now
Is this even right now
Is it worth the heights now?

Did you ever love?
Did you ever feel?
Did you ever smile?
Did you even ever live?

Who's cheering now
There is no sound
Peace
From six feet under the ground

My body a commodity, not in harmony, an oddity
Thinking misogyny, sodomy, need a full frontal lobotomy
To stop these thoughts and feelings,
That are fucking up who I ought to be,
Seeing shoddily, death fucking calling me

Two sides battling, and only one can win
My brain fucking rattling til a paralyzed state I'm in
Til all I want is to drink smoke and fuck,
My mind stretched taunt, holy shit, I'm out of luck

I ain't never been one to confront my problems,
Wishing for a bottle, instead compulsive acts'll follow
You think repeated superstitious won't leave you fucking hollow?
You think repressing all your thoughts will stop all your fucking sorrow?

Shit
you're just lonely I guess, just a bout of teen angst
One day you'll be glorious, yes
There are people with problems out there, what makes you special?
You got mental issues, man do you want a fucking medal?

Fuck you motherfucker
