1080 – The Decay Of Modern Man lyrics

Eyes opened to a world of flashing lights
Of sleepless nights... in apartments
Playing and telling a sorry tale to a drunken crowd
He can't afford the rent
A book of matches, a cigarette, and a forgotten art
Describes the job, yet his drinks come free of charge
And with each gulp his blurred vision clears...
Putting depressions into lasting impressions
He sees everything and nothing all at once in a windowless vision
Full of liquor and pipe dreams...
His world is found hidden underneath the American Dream
Which peels away revealing scabs that fester and bleed
He can do nothing but provide the soundtrack to lifes more melancholy moments
He dislikes individuality and therefore owns similar suits in which to dress
99 black and 1 blue, bought in his fleeting moment of weakness...
A gaze into his eyes
Reveals white on white... Emptiness, Emptiness
And yet the wrinkles on his brow depicts the decay of modern man
That's what he's searching for?
To be the modern man? To be the common man?
