Decapitation In The Food Court - MICROCOSMIC EVENT Lyrics

In your 20s and your teens
You had the body and the mind
Is this really the best you could come up with?
I'll say ok, I'll stay ok, I am not looking at you
I guess the job is ok, we all need something to do
Mature to money, math, and metrics
After my wants turn into needs
And I move into the weeds
Thanksgiving and the PTA
Become my everything
(This is my life
This is me)
After making acquaintances in 50 states
Spending years just to associate
I just can't relate
To these words anymore

This isn't the life I want
But I can't say that to anyone
Because someone out there wants it more than I do
And they'll rip it from my hands
And that leaves me with nothing

I've followed you here, father
I've followed you here, brother
I've followed you here, mother
I've followed you here, Jesus
I've followed you here, Caesar
I've followed you here, teacher
I've followed you here, but now where do I go?
How do I get out without a map?
You fed me them for years
But my hunger was never really mine
Yet I was born to do this
I was born for a purpose

Saw my friends
Jump off the edge
But I stood there with bovine f*cking eyes
Drooling, distracted, confined, paralyzed

They lost, I won
I won
I'm all done
