We're all feeling the pressure and the stress That we never took the time to consider When we had nothing to do But assume there was something bigger Just ahead, but for then, We were content to celebrate the present The future was darker than we expected We'll head down to the bar on the corner And make bigger plans for down the line We'll settle in like we never separated And forget we fucking hate the world outside We fucking hate the world outside We fucking hate the world outside We fucking hate the world outside We're all feeling the pressure and the stress That always hung above our heads But now it surrounds us And we only see in shades of red But just ahead, there's an end To the anxiety and discontent If we can start digging ourselves out of debt We'll close our tab and get up and head out Into the street that leads to where we'll find That nothing inside has changed Except now we fucking hate the world outside We fucking hate the world outside We fucking hate the world outside We fucking hate the world outside We fucking hate the world outside

I feel like a million bucks All used up by greedy fucks And still never enough Well I've itemized my life And it don't add up But it's all going according to plan 'Cause I don't know what I'm doing I don't like who I am And I am saddled with debt on a dead horse I am settling into cement And I'm asleep at the wheel With the car running in the garage Dreaming of breathing a sigh of relief After a life spent huffing exhaust I feel like a brand new man Empty head and idle hands And no clue where I am I'm just carrying out orders That I don't understand But it's all starting to make sense You get a new lease on life because you'll never own it You just keep getting used 'til you're useless And you're paying them for the privilege So now I'm awake on my back In a box as my body goes cold Trying to finally get some sleep After a life spent digging the hole I'm not asking where the time went I watched it circle the drain Just don't ask me how it was spent 'Cause it was taken from me You tread water Until the hand that feeds holds you under You tread water Until the hand of God holds you under

One hundred years of history but still they spend each day Defacing all the buildings and tearing up the old walkways Aspirations for better things while the present is slipping through our hands The future seems so bright now, but no one understands How we'll look back on all of this one day with a smile and sad eyes The rest of the world keeps moving, the best times of our lives pass by I've never been happy with where I am I always miss the places I've been When they're gone We dream of London flats and New York City taxi cabs And careen through the saddest nights and pretend We're up on the latest fashion trends They say nothing stays the same, but nothing ever changes around here We'll dig out from underneath these books where we're hiding away in fear I've never been happy with where I am I always miss the places I've been When they're gone We'll look back on all of this one day with a smile and sad eyes The everydayness of these days may be the best times in disguise I've never been happy with where I am I always miss the places I've been When they're gone

Deathwishers 04:26
There's a point in the night when it all seems pointless You hate your friends and you miss your bed And you find yourself faced with two choices: Stumble home or drink through it Well surprise, here I am again Existential dread at 3 a.m. But I'll die before I let the demons win So you can just keep pouring 'cause I won't say when And tonight could be the night That we ruin the rest of our lives And I know that thought should scare me But I can't imagine why Deathwishers -- We're all trying to take the edge off Deathwishers -- But we're just making the blade dull Deathwishers -- And we're just letting the blade fall And dragging it back and forth all night 'til we draw blood And every conversation has devolved Into eyes glazed, waiting 'til it's our turn to talk And not a single one of us has an original thought We're just regurgitating lines of movie dialogue But I've got bad ideas and worse-laid plans And I'm hellbent on going through with them And you look like you could use a friend Well I could use you too to malicious ends And tonight will be the night That we ruin the rest of our lives And you told me that you trust me But I can't imagine why Deathwishers -- We're all trying to take the edge off Deathwishers -- But we're just making the blade dull Deathwishers -- And we're just letting the blade fall And dragging it back and forth all night 'til we draw blood That was the worst thing that I've ever done I ended up outside my body and I tried to run But my legs wouldn't work and my eyes wouldn't shut I just stood there screaming at us both to get up It was the scariest thing I've ever seen I slapped myself as hard as I could hoping it was a dream But I couldn't shake the vision Of you shaking on the side of the street And tonight has been the night We barely made it out alive And I know I should feel lucky But I can't remember why Deathwishers -- We're all trying to take the edge off Deathwishers -- But we're just making the blade dull Deathwishers -- And we're just letting the blade fall And dragging it back and forth all night 'til we draw blood
