about

3rd single from the upcoming full length LP "Suffering Time"

lyrics

I was in the heart of my country
Feeling alone again
With the weight of a broken down body
I can feel the walls closing in

The only home I knew
Boarded up, entombed
A dead end

Lookin for an honest living
Honestly I don’t know what that is
Tired of being offered forgiveness when
I can’t even feed my kids

Down by the shore what do I see?
Plastic hopes and dreams, false memories
Always wanting more was never me
But I can barely afford the air I can’t breathe

On the edges of a distant city
My hotel room’s lit by chains
I thought the last exit was a new beginning but the signs here are all the same

An ugly menagerie
Of consumer loyalty
Unrestrained

Now I’m spending more just to stay afloat
Love’s found in a store, change in a vote
I’ve got a new friend he’s small but I can always find him
He takes me somewhere I’m strong, safe, warm and quiet

Hope’s just a lonely word for some lost fantasy
I cannot be sustained by that brash temerity
I am reassured by my friend that little pill
In a world as sick as this one there’s no shame in being ill
Oh whoa oh oh
There’s no shame in bein ill
Oh whoa oh oh

Is all there is to gain some indemnity?
I haven’t failed an honest game, I’ve fulfilled a destiny
This deadly despair beneath the surface that you keep
Knows the richest land on earth is not for me
The richest land on earth is not for me
The richest land on earth but not for me
