Slept to Death - Cog Lyrics

Sometimes it hurts
To know
That all the world's a stage
And everything's rehearsed
Sometimes it helps
To let go
Your mouth can hold a smile
No matter how you lurch
Always we fall
To stand
We choke, and then we chant
A mantra of rebirth
Alive again
We pretend
The cycle never ends
And that's just the way things work
But sometimes
I like to feel
I'm just a cog in the wheel
And sometimes
It's nice to know
I'm just a cog in the wheel
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel
Sometimes it hurts
To know
That every good woman cheats on me
(With her significant other)
Once a month at least
And when it's hard
To breathe
It helps to know if I pass right out
I'll finally get some sleep
Oh, Lord, it's hard
To seek
A knowledge to be obsolete
Beyond our century
And when it's hard
To exist
It helps to know I'll die
Depending on the afterlife
But sometimes
I like to feel
I'm just a cog in the wheel
And sometimes
It's nice to know
I'm just a cog in the wheel
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel of the universe
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel of the universe
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel of the universe
Pay no mind
I'm not a part of your miserable, crooked world
Take your time
You're only a cog in the wheel of the universe
And sometimes
I like to feel
I'm just a cog in the wheel
Sometimes
It's nice to know
I'm just a cog in the wheel
