Song lyrics

I have had it easy for most of my life.
Adulthood has brought me a series of complications.
Swallow these nails, turn away.
I must not look back.

The ills of modern man are much larger than my own personal battles.
It feels like I have been fighting for nothing.
The ills of modern man are much larger than my own personal battles.
I have been too caught up in this crying game and I want out.

I am sick of hearing myself whine.
Drink this wine and choke.

Here I am still screaming away the same problems
That have fuelled this engine for years.
I have bathed the faceless in a cesspool filled with my own tears
Preserving the constant state of shock in its salty waters.

The ills of modern man are much larger than my own personal battles.
I feels like I have been fighting for nothing.
The ills of modern man are much larger than my own personal battles.
I have been too caught up in this crying game.
I quit.

Deep down there is shade in all of us, but there is also luminosity.
My flaws have now been exposed by its brightness
(Turning shade of) black into color.
