There Will Be Fish - The spoken word is not my forte lyrics

It's too early in the morning to have emotions It hurts too much to have to go through all the motions Don't want to think, don't want to feel, don't want to breathe But i can't be f**ed to pack my things and try to leave With broken hearts and shallow souls We spend our lives becoming whole But there's nothing here For us to be Why can't i just go home and just go back to sleep? I can't get out of this system i'm in too deep Don't have a choice, don't have a say, there's no way out When there's no time to search for what this life's about With rotted brains and hollow hearts We think, we feel, we create art But there's no air For us to breathe We spend our lives behind these desks With tired minds, no time for rest And by the time we fall asleep It starts again We waste away on things they say Will make us happier today than we were before But there's no substance anymore We spend our lives behind these masks With tired smiles, no time to ask The things that mean something to us In the end We put our souls into these words, like poets No time to rehearse, but what is time But an illusion of the past? And if you think about it long enough We all are diamonds in the rough: Not pretty until the waste is chipped away We create illusions to deter Ourselves from all kinds of self-worth Meanwhile happiness is a stone's throw away
