lyrics

The corners of my smile,
Are taped to my cheek,
Eight to four,
I won’t let you see.

The coffee is wearing,
Me down,
And I’m tired,
Everyday.

I don’t want to serve you,
But I’ve got bills,
And wasted time.

I stare in the reflection,
Of the machine,
And I can’t help but notice,
It doesn’t look like me.

How do I do it,
All at one time?
Proving my own courage,
While serving the same line.

I don’t want to serve you,
But I’ve got bills and a lofty view,
Waiting for the open sign,
To flicker off,
Like my wasted time,
My wasted time...

No one really knows this,
I’ve lost a lot of focus,
Dealing with these strangers,
Who look at us like servants.
