"Story Of My Demise" lyrics

If I keep on watching the news
If I keep on swallowing the blues
Well, I won't last long
No, I won't last long
If we keep on accepting these views
If we keep on allowing it to spew
Well, we won't last long
No, we won't last much longer

Every day, I'm beaten to death
Every day, I'm struggling for breath
What about you?
What about you?
Every day, I'm taking fire
Every day, I'm closer to the wire
What about you?
And what about the things you do?

This maybe comes as no surprise
The story of my demise
I'm clinging on for dear life
Can anyone sympathize?

Is this a joke or some kind of prank?
Is this for real? 'Cause I'm drawing a blank
How about you?
How about you?
Are we living in a fever dream?
'Cause I'm struggling with this regime
What about you?
Are you seeing the things I do?

This maybe comes as no surprise
The story of my demise
I'm clinging on for dear life
Can anyone sympathize?

Stay a moment more
Stay with me forever
I'll be there for sure
Braving every weather

Nothing much to think, nothing much to say
I think I'll save my thoughts for a brighter day

This maybe comes as no surprise
The story of my demise

This maybe comes as no surprise
The story of my demise
I'm clinging on for dear life
Can anyone sympathize?

Stay a moment more
Stay with me forever
I'll be there for sure
Braving every weather
