Save Those Whales
Crawling away from the human clay machine
Destined to serve and discouraged to learn
While we're forced to eat the short end of the stick
And i pray that my bones crack underneath the meat
And i hope you know
I've been living life like it's a goddamn joke
Do not bother, because you bother me
Swallow up that pride,
And choke on your shame.
My dreams have died and took yours down with them
Lessons learned, now we're both victims
Drown us out, but we're the sinners
Being without a crutch is harder than it looks.
Misery is a neighbor you'll never again invite to dinner.
