Flood

another day
another grind
finally realizing
life is a flood
watching the water rise
the pressure grows stronger
year after year holding on
fearing maybe some asshole
will get pissed and take it away
not to mention health and death

and I think
one day my head will explode
from all this politics
we all want the same things
but the rich want us controlled
the truth is that we are alone
no one is fighting for us
and the things they say you care about
you really don't
and what you really care about
they really don't

It's enough to make a strong man
want to leave this world
keeping my head down enough
to keep it
we all play our house of cards
hoping there's a fucking God
because if it all falls
will we be able to survive the dark?
