Gallows Humour

To say I’m not nervous is the biggest of lies When your heart beats so hard and you feel like you could die Take a deep breath. Take the next step Place the next brick until it all falls on your head It all falls on you head again

The five mile bridge is falling down The world stopped turning this time around Fireflies refuse to shine The network has messed up our minds But we can turn our backs On this global heart attack And it’s clear the decks been stacked But there are no rules in this life So it’s time we hack… (Hack at the roots of injustice? Life Hacks? Hack into the mainframe? All of the above?)

I don’t suppose I should freestyle lies But I’m thinking all the time about this time that goes by If everybody’s tired and nobody tries Are we even justified in singing why oh why?
