After School Trauma Club - Fingers To My Temple Lyrics

I wake up to chaos, news got me nauseous
The planet's on fire, and the leaders are cautious
Rich gettin' richer, poor barely surviving
Greed's the religion, humanity's declining
Scrollin' through feeds, it's a war every day
Kids holdin' rifles, innocence blown away
They say pray for peace, but the bombs keep droppin'
Talkin' 'bout hope, but the pain ain't stoppin'
Got oceans of plastic, skies full of smoke
Politicians laughin', treatin' life like a joke
Schools ain't safe, and the streets even worse
Feels like the whole damn world is a curse
So I put my fingers to my temple-this is where the gun goes
Thinkin' 'bout the madness, man, my mind's about to implode
If this is what life is, I don't want the sequel
'Cause every day's a battle in the war against evil
I'm drowning in the noise, can't escape the echo
The world's so cold, feels like I'm living in a death row
Dreams decay in shadows, hope's a fleeting candle
If this is the future, I don't think I can handle
Climate's collapsing, nature's on her knees
We ignore the screams while we cut down the trees
Children in cages, justice out of sight
Preachin' 'bout freedom while we strip away rights
Healthcare's a privilege, not a human right
And they profit off our sickness every f*cking night
The homeless on corners, billionaires in towers
The system's a disease, and we gave it the power
People out here starving, drinkin' water that's poison
While companies profit and the media's noisy
They sell us distraction, force feed us division
Keep us blindfolded while they make the decisions
So I put my fingers to my temple-this is where the gun goes
Thinkin' 'bout the madness, man, my mind's about to implode
If this is what life is, I don't want the sequel
'Cause every day's a battle in the war against evil
I'm drowning in the noise, can't escape the echo
The world's so cold, feels like I'm living in a death row
Dreams decay in shadows, hope's a fleeting candle
If this is the future, I don't think I can handle
But there ain't no spark in this blackened abyss
Hope's a cruel joke, just a hit-and-miss
We're all just puppets, strings tied to despair
No savior's coming-we're left gasping for air
Tried to rise before, but the system's too strong
Every step forward feels painfully wrong
The weight's too heavy, can't fight this alone
The world's a graveyard, and we're carving our stones
So I put my fingers to my temple-this is where the gun goes
Thinkin' 'bout the madness, man, my mind's about to implode
If this is what life is, I don't want the sequel
'Cause every day's a battle in the war against evil
I'm drowning in the noise, can't escape the echo
The world's so cold, feels like I'm living in a death row
Dreams decay in shadows, hope's a fleeting candle
If this is the future, I don't think I can handle
