my days speeding by, anxious desire
upkeep the structure, stay functional.
work for a while, task runner
check all boxes, stay working.
build your own identity, delirious leech
forget not yourself, stay true.
don't mind the pain, aching meatshell
sleep it off, stay content.
take a look around, isolated husk
never reaching out, stay connected.
put some more energy, craving success
somewhere you'll end, stay motivated.
scroll to forget everything, thoughtless motion
easy reward task, stay addicted.
drive between painful thoughts, pale rider
destination to nowhere, stay lost.
find a hole to bury your head,
a forest to keep your feels in,
noone will hear when the tree falls.
stay alive.
