Night Never Falls, It Crashes

version 3:
from Loud As Me (2020 September 28) (2:44)
I think this time the ending's clear
I can feel it I can feel it, it's gonna be a cataclysm, I can't wait til it's here
Life is cheaper than ever, you're worth more if you'd never climbed out of the womb
Existence is free but survival will cost you so pay up until you rot in the tomb

Don't mean nothing if you can't buy it, age comes fast in the dead riot
In the end the only difference you'll find is that your coffin's nicer than mine
Who'd want to be happy if it don't pay?
The mark of success is your cash and prizes
I got nothing to show for my life and I think that I like it that way

Find another distraction, we're just chemical reactions
Repeat opinions from the headlines as if they were your own
It's just a game, it's just a game, all of the fortunes you claim
When no one's paying you can't play it alone
When the currency's hit the bottom, the day of equality's finally come
Anybody that could possibly help are the ones you moved here to get away from

Don't mean nothing if you can't buy it, age comes fast in the dead riot
In the end the only difference you'll find is that your coffin's nicer than mine
Who'd want to be happy if it don't pay?
The mark of success is your cash and prizes
I got nothing to show for my life and I think that I like it that way

version 2:
from The Wreckage, The Yield, And A Place I Can Crawl Up From (2018 August 17) (3:11)
I think this time the ending's clear
I can feel it, I can feel it, it's gonna be a cataclysm, I can't wait til it's here
Life is cheaper than ever, you're worth more if you never climbed out of the womb
Existence is free but survival will cost you so pay up until you rot in the tomb

Don't mean nothing if you can't buy it
Age comes fast in the dead riot
In the end the only difference you'll find
Is that your coffin's nicer than mine
Who'd want to be happy if it don't pay?
Your mark of success is your cash and prizes
I got nothing to show for my life and I think that I like it that way
To the top now

Find another distraction, we're just chemical reactions
Repeat opinions from the headlines as if they were your own
It's just a game, it's just a game, all of the fortunes you claim
When no one's paying you can't play it alone
When the currency's hit the bottom, the day of equality's finally come
Anybody that could possibly help are the ones that you moved here to get away from

Don't mean nothing if you can't buy it
Age comes fast in the dead riot
In the end the only difference you'll find
Is that your coffin's nicer than mine
Who'd want to be happy if it don't pay?
Your mark of success is your cash and prizes
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I got nothing to show for my life and I think that I like it that way
Take it take it home, oh
