Tired of working the same old thing
Hearing people talking about smoking & drinking
Crazy but it seems that I don't fit in
When you crush all that you know you know you can't win
Staring at night into bedroom songs
Black walls & blinds isolated & wrong
I wish I could ascend & reach that ring
Releasing me from this violent thing
Crush crush crush
Push away feel
Crush crush crush
Under my heel
Smash smash smash
Like a monster meal
Smash smash smash
My look of steel
Waking at dawn to the pop & the clock
I hit with satisfaction & I grope for the lock
Corn Flake breakfast & soup mid-break
I stand at the table like a fuckin' mistake
Fumbling with the crumbs of desire gone awry
My soup tastes like oil & my mouth runs dry
Crying in my head burning in my heart
My life has been a lie right from the start
Love is not found through the fear & defense
That breeds instead hate with no pretense
Crush crush crush...
I'm gonna crush all my despair
Drive home tired sunglasses wearing
Make me feel cool but my eyes are for staring
Home looks good with a vacant driveway
If my roommate is home buzzkill & fly away
Sleep keeps things in the back of my mind
Pictures the impossible & leaves me behind
Makes fantasy a game & life a rotting corpse
If I killed I'd be a real man & I'd feel no remorse
