Making efforts to the empty air
If nobody hears them do they still stand?
Without applause or a hand,
Do they still stand?
Even when you've hit it the ground?
Poor thing, have you fallen down?
Darling it's a deathtrap,
But you already knew that,
When you signed the contract.
It states "The art of living isn't very pretty for those who create."
So you eat, drink, sleep and try to escape.
You serve the people with an empty smile
Cause they don't see you,
Really see you.
Daily life takes its toll with its endless list of needs,
Tugging at your feet
Like a petulant child.
And you can't ignore it that would be neglect,
And you can't move forward or watch where you step,
And it's "no, no, no" when you just want "yes",
Well forget it.
Cause darling it's a deathtrap,
But you already knew that,
When you signed the contract.
It states "The art of living isn't very pretty for those who create."
So you eat, drink, sleep and try to escape.
Brilliance,
It won't listen to you.
It'll show its unfamiliar face when it wants to.
Brilliance,
It will strike you down.
If you can't find a way to
Spit it out in spit of the life you've stumbled on.
The teeth won't rest until they think the struggles done.;
Well, darling it's a deathtrap,
But you already knew that,
When you signed the contract.
It states "The art of living isn't very pretty for those who create."
So you eat, drink, sleep and try to escape.
