Grey Area - Nuclear Winter Lyrics

Ever since it ended, I've been feeling just as stressed
We said it would be different, but my life is still a mess
My to-do list may have changed, but the theme is still the same
We're praying for the future, but it keeps remaining lame

More free time don't mean that I feel free of my regrets
More me time don't mean that I feel any less like shit
Inner conflicts rule supreme
There's no escape, it's in my genes
More time to think, more time to hate
No matter what, I'm always late

I see with total clarity
My life spread out before me
And all the similarity
The cycle's always bored me

And it's gonna be a dark summer
Everything is busy, everybody's stressed
And it's gonna be a damn bummer
Would they even miss me, God, I'm so depressed

When I'm finally back, the tasks are different but the same
You're born, you live, you die, never won the endless game
You go to school to get a job, you get a job for cash
But money can't buy happiness, just piles of future trash

Everything that's new is just a remix of the old
And what's sad but true is life's a product to be sold
Finding love is great, but how long will it last
And when it finally ends, you're right back in the past

I see with total clarity
My love spread out before me
I'm in a state of ecstasy
Until sweet death comes for me

And it's gonna be a dark summer
Everything is busy, everybody's stressed
And I'm gonna keep feeling dumber
Friends are always angry, God, they're so depressed

Everybody's distant, split by hatred, stress and work
Individual struggles turn good people into jerks
Spreading love is old, being toxic is the norm
Before my skin grows cold, I hope I see some reform

And the future doesn't seem much better
All my plans just seem to splinter
Splinter away
You're gonna need more than a sweater
Cause it's gonna be a nuclear winter
Wither away

I see with total clarity
My life spread out behind me
I'm at peace momentarily
I'm like a clock unwinding

And it's gonna be a dark summer
Everything is busy, everybody's stressed
So I'm gonna have a long slumber
When I'm gone then they'll see, God, I was depressed

I see with total clarity
My life spread out before me
