[intro] [instrumental] [verse] Another morning Gray light seepin' in Another fake smile Where do I begin? Walkin' down these rainy streets Same old damn routine Every plastic face Livin' out a dream [rap verse] They nod their empty heads, "How's life, man, you good?" Like everything's just peachy, livin' how you should. Like the walls ain't closing in, the air ain't thick with dread Like the voices in my skull ain't screaming in my head. Yeah, they askin' questions, they don't wanna hear the truth! Just wanna keep their perfect lies, protected from the proof! So I bite my tongue back hard, feel the metal taste 'Cause if I spit it out, this whole damn world would lay to waste! [chorus] "How's life?" They scream With their empty eyes It's a fuckin' lie Dressed in fake disguise "Everything's alright!" Yeah, tell that to the cracks I'm angry! I'm anxious! There's no turning back [instrumental] [verse] Walkin' past the church bells Hear 'em ringin' soft All that holy bullshit Gonna make me scoff "Praise the Lord!" they whisper With their hands held tight While the violence boils under Festering in the night [rap verse] You think you know my struggle? Think you understand this shit? Nah, you just nod your head, don't give a single fuck or bit. This ain't no fairytale, no happy fuckin' ending Just a constant battle, endless bending, breaking, sending... Yeah, they want their answers, wrapped up in a bow! But this ain't no damn gift, this is a venomous flow! So I clench my fists up tight, feel the blood run cold 'Cause if I let it loose, this story's never gonna be told! [chorus] "How's life?" They scream With their empty eyes It's a fuckin' lie Dressed in fake disguise "Everything's alright!" Yeah, tell that to the cracks I'm angry! I'm anxious! There's no turning back [instrumental] [rap verse] They wanna categorize, put me in a box Tick-tock, goes the clock, countin' down the knocks. Think I'm just a number, a statistic, a file? You ain't seen the monster, festering inside for a while. This ain't just anger (this ain't just anger) This ain't just a fit! (this ain't just a fit!) This is years of silence (this is years of silence) Swallowed all the shit! (swallowed all the shit!) [bridge] This is every moment Every lie, every shove This is violence boiling Born of a twisted 'love'! [spoken] "So ask me again!" "I dare you to ask!" [chorus] "How's life?" They scream With their empty eyes It's a fuckin' lie Dressed in fake disguise "How's life?" They say It's a twisted, sick charade I'm ready to detonate Watch this world decay! [instrumental] [outro]
