You're nothing to no one

Consume - it’s all you’ll ever know
And then you lecture me like I’m missing out
Materialistic obsession, constant degradation
Grease the wheel and let it spin
I need something more than this
Complacent, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t
Draw my own path without a map
But there’s still blood on my canvas

Killing me with your sensibilities
Preach about the bottom line, assign a price to human life
Useless ideas, a waste of space
Performative gestures, your fall from grace

5 minutes in the elevator, 30 seconds until I hit the ground
Would you have a single thought? Do you know where your loved ones are now?
Disappear for 2 weeks and everyone forgets your name
Just another open spot for someone else with a debt to pay

Consume - it’s all you’ll ever know
And then you lecture me like I’m missing out
Materialistic obsession, constant degradation
Grease the wheel and let it spin
I need something more than this
Complacent, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t
Draw my own path without a map
But there’s still blood on my canvas

Tell me one more time that you’re “making a difference”
I hope you choke - choke on your self-righteous lies and excuses
