Shady Existence Lyrics


State Lines Shady Existence




Yeah, well there is a shady existence and both you and I are living in it
There's a price that we pay to just get paid
It's a subtle toll creeping on me everyday
So with some apprehension, I comply and realize
That it'd be better to die than waste my time trying to implement change
Now with not much distance there is little resistance to turn 20 in weeks
20 owing money to a university that's doing nothing but putting me to sleep
So I just sleep for days till I wake up with my head in a total haze
It's not a way of life but it sure is safe
Safer than facing the day just to see the reality of the air I used to breathe
But not now I wheeze and heave on air that's no less clean
Still, there's a life I have and keep on pushing on
Convinced there might be something in these songs
No it's nothing commercial, nothing political
It's barely contrived, no it's me telling some kid through a microphone
He might be f..cked in the head but he's not alone
"Oh, we've gotta take this slow," I was singing alone, I was singing these songs
Oh won't you take me home?
I'm just seeing stars, I'm just singing those songs
