Saccharine Dream from Shock Horror by The Birdwatchers

Continue to live out your saccharine dream
The illusion is safe here with me
Of course it's underwhelming
Boy, you think you matter
Nothing really matters and
No one's listening to what you
Labored over endlessly
Sacrificing sanity
Misfortune from messengers, so
Batten down the hatches and
Try your best to weather the storm

And the dominoes fall
This was predicted in the
Stories scrawled across the wall

We deserve everything we have
Call out the symptoms, ignoring the cause
Quiet, carry on
Finish the task, don't expect an applause

Red Light means cease reactions
Maybe we're recording
Power play for boarding and
Please don't get ahead of yourself
Ooh, you think you matter
Nothing really matters at all
At least you found your niche, you're
Fabled yet forgotten, a
Private mess of problems and tunes
Continue to consume, it's
Clearly detrimental, you've
Wasted your potential away

And the dominoes fall
This was predicted in the
Stories scrawled across the wall

We deserve everything we have
Call out the symptoms, ignoring the cause
Quiet, carry on
Finish the task, don't expect an applause

I want it all, I don't care how
Wanted it then and want it now
And this decision stalls my mind
Stuck in a rut another time

Don't leave it out on the table
I won't take your word and this
Sudden distraction makes us
Take a turn for the worse and this is it
