Are You Serious?

(album: MONO - 2023)

Woke up on a Saturday
Deaf in my right ear
I was dizzy and disoriented
Vertigo severe
All the doctors said the cause was just some mystery unknown
Then they charged me thirteen thousand
And the fuckers sent me home

I was told that there was no way to prevent what had occurred
But the randomness of everything, it almost made it worse
Now lately every crowded room feels like I'm drowning in the sound
Of incoherent conversations and my heartbeat as it pounds

I can't wake up from this dream
This madness, my reality
I clench my fists and grind my teeth
As something breaks inside of me, like
Are you serious?
Are you serious?

Too much and I wanna sedate
I wanna numb out, killing the pain
Don't wanna talk about it
Nobody knows how to relate
I'm all alone and I'm up on a stage
Don't wanna bitch about it
'Cause I know everyone's in a cage
I'm just a drop in a bucket of rage
And if you think about it too hard, it'll fuck with your brain
It's not going away
It's not going away

I can't wake up from this dream
This madness, my reality
I clench my fists and grind my teeth
As something breaks inside of me
