Thrown to the Wolves

|
Verse
What did I get myself into?
Thrown out here, don’t know what to do
Chorus
Need to appease the wolves, hide from the wolves, or get eaten (ALIVE!)
Need to learn what to do, know how to do, so I can at least stay afloat
Want to impress the wolves, satisfy the wolves, in order to (SURVIVE!)
Don’t want to slip up now, become the prey, so I’ll keep feeding the predators
OH NO! WHAT HAPPENED THIS TIME!
Verse
What have I gotten myself into?
This isn’t what I signed up for
Oh no, what happened this time
How much do I have left in me?
Who’s gonna take the fall?
Who is the meal.

Verse
Been here for a while now. How’s it gonna go?
Disorder, I’m surrounded nothing seems to flow
Pre Chorus
Weighing me down, pulling me down, environment is
Pushing me down, shove me around, my livelihood is
Smothering, compressing me to asphyxiation
Chorus
I will swoon if I feel this anymore
I will swoon need to retreat for just a bit
Here I croon for anyone who has an ear
Way too frail for this anymore
Verse
Been here way too long now with nowhere to go
Numbers, what it’s all about, but no room for growth
Bridge
Fear of losing everything
Outweighs prevention of my gradual decay
My youth has gone to waste
Making them look good with metrics anyway
Fear of losing everything
Made them look good with metrics
With awareness I’m replaceable
Hoping prosperity’s attainable
Thankful that I’m useful, because there is
nowhere else to go!

Verse
I’m grinding it out, so excited to play ball
Pushing right on through and working my way up
Unload on me, I’ll take it all, anything you need give me the call
Our father, hallowed be thy name
I’m gonna make it to the top, body says no, but I won’t stop
Soon enough, when it is there, it’s mine to
Chorus
Claim victory
After the feculent scent of promotion
I’m in the club where I’m supposed to be
Verse
I’m close to the front of this long centipede
I’ll stop eating this if I can keep on exceeding
My mouth is sewn onto the backside of the power
In the meantime, it’s my favorite meal
Keep grinding out, taking it all, it’s such an honor to play ball
I’ll eat this until I can
Bridge
He’s my father, he’s my best friend, my true soulmate, one and only GOD!
End all be all life source lifesblood I need this!
Final Chorus
Claim victory
After the feculent scent of promotion
Trying to be in the club on top where I’ll always belong
Who is this?
Why’s he in the club on top I gave my life for?
I still smell this mephitic scent of it
Tasting the caboose of it

Livin' The Dream

Verse
There is always something to do
I do it knowing I help the world now
Everyday, I learn something new, I am
(Livin’ the dream in bliss)
Many people are in the queue
To do what I come everyday to do now
According to the point of view of
(Livin’ in heaven in bliss)
Chorus
I’m so lucky
I got it made
So why do (I scream at night in agony)
Verse
I’ve got myself to do
Looking at knives and extension cords, now
Would it affect anyone I knew from
(Livin’ the dream in bliss)
If this is where I should be
In order to live a decent life
The extension cord can lead me
(Heaven or hell in bliss)
Bridge
I lost my youth, I aged so much
They chewed me up and swallowed me down

Retaliate

|
Verse
I’ve been a straight arrow all this time
Taking all burdens just to find
Out the reward in exploitation
If something goes wrong, they’ll come right after
Chorus
Me
They’ll retaliate with the iron fist on
Me
Fear of touching the bottom now!
Just another minnow in the ocean
Verse
Wasted my life with nothing to show
Slaving my life, my hand to the bone
They tangle forth the possibility
Right to the wind, they just might cast
Bridge
Just another minnow surrounded by sharks
I’m just another minnow in the
(No need to do anything wrong
With proof of innocence
Just let them see that you are man
Number to toss into the wind)
Final chorus
Me
They’ll retaliate with the iron fist on
Me
Fear of touching the ground beneath the
Sea
Ball and chain pulling me down so
Rapidly
On my way to the bottom now

Resignation

|
Verse
If I leave this place behind, am I gonna live
I’m only slightly alive, the threats and slavery has numbed me
Turning me into a zombie
Organs function, but I feel so hollow
Just a shell of a mindless zombie
Chorus
Centimeters from state line to breaking down
After a goodnight sleep in a town called Brigadoon
Internal implosion just for someone else’s gain
In death, I’d feel more lively than this
Verse
Never could understand all the insults and the curses
Going above and beyond after I went above and beyond
Turned me into a zombie
Been looking for another place in
Hopes I don’t jump from Ike to Ike
Bridge
Enough’s enough, it’s time to leave
Because it is time to live
I will no longer seethe
Go home demolish everything
When was the last time?
I am human again!
And now, I’m feeling lively in this!
