lyrics

i dont want to have to sharpen my teeth this time
dont want to get used to the taste of ash
i don't want to misunderstand my own life
don't want to keep on poking at the gash

i aint gonna bloody my knees crawling from some sin
aint gonna kiss some pissant emperor's ring
i ain't gonna open my mouth for the hammer again
aint gonna enter my details into that thing

but I'm so tired
yeah so tired
of wearing the world
like a coat that doesn't fit

I'm so tired
yeah so tired
of crawling on the surface
of this spinning planet


I don't wanna spend my life swinging fists
don't wanna hold off living for some mythical payday
I don't wanna watch my burnt friends throwing fits
market targets on sale signalling mayday

& we're so tired
yeah so tired
of trying to memorize
all the things we'll soon forget

just so tired
yeah so tired
of protecting our faces
in case we take another hit

eyes, songs, dreams
money-weak,
thinner than milky light
fluttering from glass screens

night in our mouths,
commerce in our ears
empty algorithmic music
lives blistered by fear
