Life during occupation

You sold your soul the pole is calling your name
You still control the hole that no-one can claim
It isn’t fair you’re there just watching the place
And your despair you wear all over your face
No new people no more friends
No more needle or the habit again
Your heart recedes so deep in your chest
That when you bleed you need to basically guess
Count your tips, pay the biz
Don’t get chased back where you live
Like a butcher to the slaughter
You keep your arms inside your sleeves
Simply breathing underwater
Keeps the sunlight off the teeth
And when you close one eye and focus
Everything is incomplete
That’s when the ghosts decide to choke us
They love to go unseen
Don’t expect to be surprised
Don’t take more than you provide
Escape into your gallery
Earn your salary
No-one complains as you burn your calories
No-ones infallibly correct about reality
So own your pallor and beware of the scenery
Instead of cowering in the shower
Sing curses to the people that have done you wrong
No-one to be mad at, take another stab at
Mastering emotions even when you’re spat at
Let down shut off tuned out threatened
Make them disappear and in fear of your vengeance
No-one understands you, no-one really tries
All they do is lecture you and give you bad advice
Its hard to find the patience, its hard to find the time
To give to those that don’t deserve it really is a crime
Find your hiding place where you can escape
Far away from the people and their candidates
As for politics, there’s just a wall of dicks
Talking like they give a shit
While starting the apocalypse
Anti-maskers, selfish bastards
Going open carry because no life matters
See if we qualify for annihilation by
The hand of god or the black knight satellite
The people prone to populate the surface of mars
Will look so good as skeletons
Just smiling at the stars
Problematic policies, open up your wallet seize
And burn your final dollar as an obsolete currency
Go extinct
