Dice of a Generation - DEMONDICE.mp3

[00:00.54][Hook]
[00:29.24]Caught in a mental dystopia and it's got no end in sight (No end in sight)
[00:33.53]And just in case you're wondering, no
[00:35.80]The kids are not alright (You got it)
[00:37.57]Giving love to my art but it's unrequited
[00:39.60]Quite a few hearts who'd rather die than fight it (Woah)
[00:41.87]Despite it all we're holdin' on but for how long (Oh yeah)
[00:45.26][Verse 1]
[00:45.70]Yo, just another night in a heartbreak city
[00:47.73]Watchin' all the lights flicker out what a pity
[00:49.69]It's a cut-throat, come-and-go time that we're livin' in
[00:51.85]Ridin' on a slow boat to dippin' out n' giving in
[00:53.81]Quittin' time, maybe it's a new-age, crazy ain't it?
[00:55.68]History repeated with a fresh new coat of paint, it's
[00:57.93]Time and time I hear the same sung tragedy
[00:59.76]Target the young minds and tell 'em what they have to be
[01:01.85]Somethin' to be said about the shit we're told
[01:03.55]When you're in your early twenties and you feel like you're gettin' old
[01:05.83]Plenty of proof that, yeah, the world is cold
[01:07.47]But we forget about it, drowning in the stuff we're sold
[01:09.51]A band made to own overblown expectations
[01:11.70]Struggling just to make conversation
[01:13.67]Dark room, light head, vision turning black and red
[01:16.02]Whadda they want from me? I guess we betta play dead
[01:17.92]Stifle the heartache, I'm not asleep, not awake
[01:20.00]Not a real, not a fake, all I know is give and take
[01:21.72]Workin' hard, no breaks, keep it together
[01:23.59]If I close my eyes then I could sleep forever
[01:25.74]In a world set in motion by avarice and greed
[01:27.70]Ain't no wonder we go under if we can't succeed
[01:29.44]Cuz though I tend to bleed, I beg and plead with myself
[01:31.61]And no I'm not the first fallin' victim to mental health
[01:33.92]Callin' on somebody, anybody, save me!
[01:35.77][?] even my devotion's kinda wavy
[01:37.89]Generation made emotions, still they say we're lazy
[01:39.81]Navigate the maze, though they're lookin' at us crazy
[01:41.59]But part of getting older I suppose with time
[01:43.42]If your make and your model is a different kind, like mine
[01:45.88]Outside the weather's been perfectly fine
[01:47.44]But the storm rages on in my mind
[01:49.11][Hook]
[01:50.16]Caught in a mental dystopia and it's got no end in sight (No end in sight)
[01:53.31]And just in case you're wondering, no
[01:55.78]The kids are not alright (You got it)
[01:57.62]Giving love to my art but it's unrequited
[01:59.51]Quite a few hearts who'd rather die than fight it (Woah)
[02:01.80]Despite it all we're holdin' on but for how long (Oh yeah)
[02:04.73]So wish I may and wish I might
[02:07.56]I know there won't be sleep tonight
[02:09.69]We're all aboard the same train rolling
[02:11.92]Towards a brighter life
[02:13.28]Careful who you trust in a world of facades and fraudulent promises of hopes and dreams
[02:17.61]Some cannot cope in a world that won't stay true to what it, true to what it seems
[02:21.64][Verse 2]
[02:22.12]Just another day here in pseudo-utopia
[02:23.85]Sooner or later, the devil takes hold o' ya
[02:25.75]Big money schemes keepin' everyone suspicious
[02:27.63]Nobody wants to fall behind, everyone's ambitious
[02:29.63]Kinda sad, no one really wants to be a mom and dad
[02:31.84]Ya sit 'em real still with medication and iPads
[02:33.84]And everybody needs a pill cuz everybody feels bad
[02:35.76]Really feelin' down without the gadgets we wish we had
[02:37.79]Someone's got a new car, someone's got a new wife
[02:39.73]Someone's got it made, man he's gotta have a good life
[02:41.82]Maybe it's a masquerade, you ever thought about it?
[02:43.82]You don't see the strife on the inside, your vision's clouded
[02:45.77]No doubt about it, that no matter how you slice it
[02:47.65]The way ya livin' life is never gonna be the right fit
[02:49.58]And you can try to fight it, but you might get your mind split
[02:52.06]Tryna to get straight to the bottom of it
[02:53.93]And there's a lot of 'em who quit and get their hats hung
[02:55.94]Never did I ever think I'd see 'em kick it so young
[02:57.85]Gears in your head might turn a different direction
[02:59.65]It doesn't mean you're broken, embrace imperfection
[03:01.64]It's hardly ever spoken, cuz the pharm needs protection
[03:03.67]But a closer inspection yields a corporate infection
[03:05.64]Correction: maybe I'm just outta my mind
[03:07.50]I've heard a million times that overthinking's a crime
[03:09.56]“I'm making good art, from the heart, startin' today” I said
[03:11.53]Sounded real easy when I heard it inside my head
[03:13.72]Let it spread, all our existential dread
[03:15.27]Like, does music even matter once you're buried and dead?
[03:17.64]A younger me who believed in the strength of humanity
[03:19.52]Learned the profanity, accepted insanity
[03:21.57]Thousands of miles away, believin' a plan to be
[03:23.57]Doesn't make it any less depressing and sad to see
[03:25.80][Hook]
[03:26.10]Caught in a mental dystopia and it's got no end in sight (No end in sight)
[03:29.65]And just in case you're wondering, no
[03:31.72]The kids are not alright (You got it)
[03:33.74]Giving love to my art but it's unrequited
[03:35.75]Quite a few hearts who'd rather die than fight it (Woah)
[03:37.87]Despite it all we're holdin' on but for how long (Oh yeah)
[03:41.04]So wish I may and wish I might
[03:43.47]I know there won't be sleep tonight
[03:45.55]We're all aboard the same train rolling
[03:47.95]Towards a brighter life
[03:49.37]Careful who you trust in a world of facades and fraudulent promises of hopes and dreams
[03:53.53]Some cannot cope in a world that won't stay true to what it, true to what it seems
[03:57.95]Caught in a mental dystopia and it's got no end in sight
[04:01.12]And just in case you're wondering, no
[04:03.84]The kids are not alright
[04:05.67]Giving love to my art but it's unrequited
[04:07.73]Quite a few hearts who'd rather die than fight it
[04:09.78]Despite it all we're holdin' on but for how long
[04:13.26]Just another night in a heartbreak city...
