must be nice (metaphorically speaking)

(album: Thanks, But No Thanks - 2023)

Got evicted about a week ago
Start fresh I could clear my head
Got a 40 split it on the train
Could be worse yea I can't complain, it's ok
Got a job working at the bar
Cleaning puke from the kids I went to school with

Blacked out and blistered
(Oh yea it must be nice)
Washed up and calloused
(You had us fooled)
Take your advice and add it to
The list of shit I'd never do
Rather crack my skull in two
Than be like you

Got a car that doesn't even start
List of books that I should have read
Old shoes that always fill with dirt
Only clothes I wear I got from work
Doing dishes till my hands go numb
And I'm feeling all this pressure just to get it done
Hoping better days will somehow one day come
But they never come
Another night being

Blacked out and blistered
(Oh yea it must be nice)
Washed up and calloused
(You had us fooled)
Take your advice and add it to
The list of shit I'd never do
Rather crack my skull in two
Than be like

It's not gonna turn around
I'm not gonna find my place
It's always held me down
It's time to accept my fate
There's nothing for me left to do

And I'm losing sight me, myself and I
(Debts I never paid, problems that I can't evade)
Losing sight me, myself and I
(It's my only way this torture soul is on display)
Something for all to see
Felt it come over me
I'm losing sight

Blacked out blistered
Washed up and calloused
Take your advice an add it to
The list of shit I'd never do
Rather crack my skull in two
Than be like you
