lyrics

surgical steel in you
burrowing in and through
you're world wasn't made to last
even you will fall through the cracks

it's only a matter of time
you don't need to be sleeping under the train line
there's something that keeps us even
sooner or later we'll all be leaving

find yourself a chunk of time
tally up the hours left in your life
nihilism is seductive when
you can wear it like a silver pin
