"Corporate Ladder" lyrics

"Corporate Ladder"

I read it on the paper
"Teenage girl is breaking records"
And I think I'm getting sicker everyday

It's not that I'm bitter
But I'm not getting any younger
So little time and so much bullshit left to say

I think I'm going half insane
These melodies don't sound the same
Hate the player, hate the game
It goes on, and on, and on

You're blowing up, I'm burning out
You're shutting deals, I'm shutting down
Even the devil won't buy my soul tonight
To lay my head among the rest
Of tired minds who tried their best
Is to settle in cynical comfort tonight

Oh god, oh god
I'm losing my grip
Can't climb the corporate ladder
I'll always slip

Morning affirmation
"I won't starve myself today
Just 'cause I woke up feeling angry at the world"

I did a spray tan salutation
Could I be any more fake?
I'm like a walking contradiction, so absurd (so absurd)

You can't get it, no one does
I wanna kill myself because
Songbird says I'm not enough
It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on

You're blowing up, I'm burning out
You're shutting deals, I'm shutting down
Even the devil won't buy my soul tonight
To lay my head among the rest
Of tired minds who tried their best
Is to settle in cynical comfort tonight

Oh god, oh god
I'm losing my grip
Can't climb the corporate ladder
I'll always slip

You're blowing up, I'm burning out
You're shutting deals, I'm shutting down
Even the devil, no he won't buy my soul tonight
To lay my head among the rest
Of tired minds who tried their best
Is to settle in cynical comfort tonight

Oh god, oh god
I'm losing my grip
Proud boy on the web said my music's shit
I can't say it don't affect me cause I know it did
So I won't climb that corporate ladder
I'll always slip
