Living Life In Limbo

(album: Generation Gaming XXIII: Breakfast At Limmy's - 2021)

(Oh my)

A significant time before the Little Nightmares
Invite theirself into your mind, there's a life of black and white where
Things unspeakable will sneak before the Ink Machine
Begins to leak at all, we've seen it all before the Ink Machine
Begins to leak at all, we've seen it all before, wait, déjà vu
Feel like a child again, what age are you?
Life's a game you cannot play half through, you're trapped in it
'Til after the credits roll, you'll never know if you mastered it

The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
How can I blend with friends when I don't recognise the lingo?
The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
I'm imbibing moonshine while the moonlight's shining through my window
The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
How can I blend with friends when I don't recognise the lingo?
The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
I'm imbibing moonshine while the moonlight's shining through my window

Nothing here, sterilised
What can we see in the dark? Pair of eyes
Like headlamps, headlines' terrorise
Fear freezes, paralyzed
Petrified pair of eyes, electric white, I checked, not blue, not verified
No hue, no spectral light, only unusual spectres, geists
Already prepared to die, but when are you prepared to live?
I see you're prepared to lie, but the truth is rare to give
(Uh oh, uh oh)

Run and jump over sullen bumps
Under fallen trunks, hear a sudden thump
In the glum gloom, glowing glimmers zoom
'Til you swear to yourself that they're in the room
So travel keenly in need of your fear
Gravity unravels easily here
Gravel can keep your feet to your ear
Your ear to the ground, finger on the pulse
Eyes on the prize if you're thinking it's false
It's probably too good to be lies, assaults
Upon your senses, censoring you mentally 'til you're defenceless
It all depends if you'll be friends with who you call your nemesis
Oh look, there's a switch, so pull it and hope for the best bits
Ay, why you waiting for the class to get dismissed?
Everyone's already left, perfection for a pessimist
The level of stress is rising, just like the pressure is
Father Jack, I'm out of facts and I don't have a feck to give

The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
How can I blend with friends when I don't recognise the lingo?
The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
I'm imbibing moonshine while the moonlight's shining through my window
The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
How can I blend with friends when I don't recognise the lingo?
The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
I'm imbibing moonshine while the moonlight's shining through my window

Acid tongue, vinaigrette
Call out from high above, minaret
Dance with death, minuet
I've cut my strings, marionette
Been and left the light behind me, sillhouette
Dead in a breath, cigarette
Your skeleton's a fleshy cage, you're trapped inside it
How do you know that you don't want to die until you've tried it?
(Ay up, ay up)

Feel like a child again, déjà vu, your skeleton's a fleshy cage
You can't F5 your life, dying won't refresh the page
Life's a sheet of melting ice, you're sliding on in heavy skates
Faith is trying to believe that when it breaks, you'll levitate
Some of us kneel down to pray, others just self-medicate
But the gravity of death won't take a breath to hesitate
The fall of man affected his kids and now they're left in Limbo
An original sin with no chariot to carry it, so swing low
Ay, why you waiting for the class to get dismissed?
Everyone's already left, perfection for a pessimist
Balanced on a precipice with rap as fresh as lettuce is
Don't get too existential or the feds will fetch an exorcist

The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
How can I blend with friends when I don't recognise the lingo?
The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
I'm imbibing moonshine while the moonlight's shining through my window
The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
How can I blend with friends when I don't recognise the lingo?
The light is dim though, living life in Limbo
I'm imbibing moonshine while the moonlight's shining through my window
