Apathy

By E-dub on December 21, 2014 3:30 am

Another effort before the end of the year.

Occasionally I have to rock out a little bit.



---------------------------------------------------------


Do you feel that there's closure?  Now that your war is over, what will you do?
Down the road, when your life is ending, since you've always been unbending, will your faith see you through?


Working and slaving and crying and saving and still you have nothing to show.
Staring and typing and mindlessly griping and is there still room for your apathy to grow?
Debating and voting with senseless emoting and everything's still just the same.
What you once thought were answers turned out to be cancers, and everyone shares a big part of the blame.


Do you feel that there's closure?  Now that your war is over, what will you do?
Down the road, when your life is ending, since you've always been unbending, will your faith see you through?


Dancing and drinking with no time for thinking, so still you have nothing to show.
Meeting and falling, wait three days for calling, leaves just enough room for her apathy to grow.
Obsessing and doting, occasionally gloating, while still spending most nights alone.
Sitting and glaring and into-space staring, are you really too scared to just pick up the phone?


Work, save, march, shave, eat, crave, sleep, slave, drive, wave, stand, cave, rave, rave, rave, rave.

Haha, I'm not a big holiday guy I guess, although I have to pretend to be for my kids.

That's some serious lyrics man. You've hit the nail on the head here, feels very 80s too!

I think a lot of my songs have a bit of an 80s vibe. Thanks for listening.
