Reality Is Killing Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm running now with both eyes closed
I never look to fend off blows
Can't see behind me, I can't see ahead
Sometimes I think I'm better off dead
Reality is killing me
Do you know the way I feel
Reality is killing me
I can't close my eyes or turn away
They're raising the price of life at will
I'm trying to pay off last month's bills
What I once trusted is now corrupt
I'm in such a fucking rut
