lyrics

Sometimes I forget that I live with privilege and I have to wonder,
what it's like to be hungry,
And how last month's rent is over ten months due and I feel older than I should,
A good night's rest should keep me from feeling.
So why am I surprised by your compromise?
Buying in but not asking why,
the cost, the pain, of being left behind.
And you won't find truth in your friday nights,
where beer is king and life is alright,
why won't you get angry?
And my discontent is only oh so telling of my insecurities and inconsistencies,
I am just like you.
So why do I feel so different tonight?
Dancing to your own degradation,
using booze to drown your potentiation,
Am I the only one,
who can see the irony,
But I move on.
