Overtoun - Humanity Lyrics

Look at all these people doing their best to feel alive
Flushing money into good times all the while they are scraping by
I don't blame them, but I'm not them
They numb the pain with excess but this cycle is relentless
The race is rigged but these people don't care
They love the nightclubs, hotel rooms and thin air
In the end, I'm not so different, we're all just dying inside
But I've already died
Some take photos, helps look like they belong
Buy a drink and strike up conversation
Dance with strangers, make new friends hope they stay
Fight existential decay
People just want bright lights
A good fuck, loud music, faded vision
Give them that, problems go away
Fucking planet's dying, might as well just enjoy today
But I loathe this game
There's too many bodies in here
And yet no one is here at all
At the heart of man is a void
If it isn't filled, life
It destroys
Sociophobia takes its toll
Devastates, isolates my mind above all
Why do I
Look at all these people doing their best to feel alive?
Flushing money into good times all the while they are scraping by
I don't blame them, but I'm not them
I'm not like them, I am not them
Keep up the charade, smile and laugh like I'm alive
Ask myself why I'm not at home where I might suffer alone
Why is everybody vacant?
Where is everyone's humanity?

Look at all these people doing their best to feel alive

They love the nightclubs, hotel rooms and thin air
In the end, I'm not so different, we're all just dying inside

Fight existential decay

But I loathe this game
There's too many bodies in here
