Pond View - Sleeping Lessons 2 Lyrics

I was rich with thoughts
Then my head exploded
Forced to sleep in this bed I made
You reap what you sow they say
I'm giving up
On people pleasing
To reframe my frame of mind
You won't believe it
I'm fired up
This mirror is deceiving
I'm a self reflective mess
An egocentric pest
Should I stay in my nest
I'll sleep when I'm dead
3 cheers for the working man
Who rides first class to the holy land
He sharpens his teeth with extorted pills
And wipes his ass with hundred dollar bills
Shame on the anarchists
Deny free thought and keep your records clean
Don't make a scene
Just punch the clock and let the cycle start again
I'll sleep when I'm dead
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Dreaming of my youth
My mind and collar feel bluer everyday
I'm like a still life no one's painting
Left to colorful decay
Life reminds me of a city
One big apple I'm the worm
Slowly chewing through the insides
Till it makes my stomach churn
