There's a chaos that stirs
Like a cauldron bubbling
Building entropy
Begging to get free
Dying to drive me, 
It rises inside. 


Puttin' another nail in the coffin
Good time for talkin'
Just keep walkin'
Puttin' another nail in the coffin
Spark the flint
Hammer it in
Puttin' another nail in the coffin
Ten for twenty 
Good and plenty
Puttin' another nail in the coffin
Blackened lung
Beeping machines
Put a few more nails in the coffin
Hack and wheeze
Can you tell me how many it takes, please
Put another nail in the coffin 
Close your eyes
Lead the procession
That's the last nail in the coffin.


I wish this plane would 
Leave the ground
But it just taxis
Round and round
Sick of the same old sights,
Can't we please just take flight,
Elevate to another height?


Background noise
Flies buzzing in my ear
Their voices pointless,
Disconnected
Thoughtless, burned up years
Mumbling, fluctuating,
Drowning me in monotony.


She says it feels like home
But she hasn't been there in ages
In her face you can see
Her hollowness
Loneliness
Desperately missing 
The place she's always known
Thrown about, 
Like shipwrecked remains
On steep ocean waves.
