Hello retrograde

Judgement and fear consuming all my strength
There's no hope in here 'cause hope is a burden, i say! i declare!! i proclaim!!!
In hindsight, the struggle was worthless
As i fight, the struggle seems useless today and tomorrow and the next day, and the next day

Hey, i'll be laying on the floor
Miserable and fucking poor
Dread and disdain rot my core
As i worry for my friends next door

He says silence is good! yeah, silence is safety
Acceptance is solace, and this time it's harmless he says. and "they do what they say" is what he says to me
But his sister's impaired and his dad's a cop
He's poc, northeastern and believes he's not fucked? oh okay man. if that's what you say, well okay, man. but, honestly, hey hey

Hey, no one'll be there at your door
When despair trickles your core
As you're starved and fucking poor
You'll be lying on the floor

"but man, look at the price of that dollar
Headlining the real news, in your fucking face
Once i afford my second cock
I'm gonna be a big man with a gun, put those scum in their place

And then i wanna see those fuckers try
And raise their voice, risk their fucking life"

Funny you should know
It was always on the line
Funny you should know
It was always on the line

Because the nation's safe, hello retrograde
Where the dollar's high, so everything's fine
When the right question costs innocent lives
And if the disease spreads, we all went out on our time

The nation's safe, hello retrograde
When the dollar's high, so everything's fine
And the right question costs innocent lives
And by the time you're dead, this flag is blood soaked red
