Lyric

Alarm goes off, I’m still not here

Dragging yesterday through the mirror

“Work to live” — yeah I’ve heard that lie

Selling hours just to stay alive

Tie it tight around my neck

Call it pride but it’s just a check

Smile stitched onto my face

I’m just another replaceable name

Who’s it for?

What’s it worth?

No one’s got an answer here

WORK WORK — I’m screaming out

Breaking down but I don’t know how

WORK WORK — I’m wearing thin

Carving holes underneath my skin

Who decided this is right?

Tell me why I’m alive to fight

Stack the titles, climb the lie

Empty soul in a suit and tie

“Give back to society”

Sounds like chains they hand to me

Live alone, grow your own?

“No one cares,” I’m told at home

Duty, taxes, play your role

Still can’t buy a future soul

Jealous eyes, pressure games

Smile and say “it’s all okay”

WORK WORK — something’s wrong

Step on others just to belong

WORK WORK — losing me

Kindness fades in reality

If this is what you call life

Where the hell do I survive?

Went alone, broke away

Still can’t do what I wanna say

Dreams get buried underground

Every time I hear that sound

Pension dreams are fading out

“Work till death” — that’s what it’s about

If I stop, I disappear

So I keep on staying here

…hey

What is work?

WORK WORK — never ends

Breathing feels like just pretend

WORK WORK — can’t escape

Living life inside a cage

I was working just to live

Now I live just to give

No answers left

Just another day

WORK…
