lyrics

Pinnochio

What's the point in living if you have nothing to live for?
What's the point in creating that when your passions don't even change the world?
What's the point in trying when all you seem to do is fail?
Even at the bottom of everything, the top seems like a long shot in the dark.

I feel that I have nothing to contribute to changing the world,
When all I do is scream incoherent words.
Nobody is really listening and they're just buying time.
Just as I am doing.
Honestly,
With good morals, I'm just living a lie.

We all have a conscious, but he ain't no Jimeny cricket.
We won't turn into donkeys, and our lies won't be evident.
None of us are good people, yet none of us are bad.
We don't live in absolutes,
We just live and die
We're shitty people, all our lives.

You're not a superhuman, you're barely even a super villain,
Your powers are too weak to stand up for yourself,
And when others stand for you, then you sit back on your couch,
Hoping that they win the fight
When you barely even put in help.

I've spent all my time wasting away at that goddamn place
And I was getting nowhere doing nothing and barely even living.
I was afraid to go outside and live the life most dream of
And even now I want to spend time with the people I love
And I want to see the world for what it truly is
And experience the terrible and the amazing and live in full passions
But I can't fucking do that while being tied down to people and places
And I can't fucking do that while being stricken down in my own head.
