rent - manners lyrics

it isn’t hard to snap a neck with the weight of the world as leverage
lowered into a shallow grave of paycheck after paycheck
stuck between your wallet folds
is the cash you got for the childhood you sold
and now you’re wondering what happened

what happened is:
you sold your soul to buy the dream
you were convinced “it would never happen to me,”
you bought a house with the money you saved
you found the “perfect “ wife who felt the same
you ate dinner every night at 8
and every weekend was exactly the same
your perfect family became a machine
and now there’s no escaping
this life we live, is it all a lie?
keep wishing your empty life was something more than wasted time
its all downhill from here
a slow death making love to your office chair
when you come home late at night, the lights not on
there’s no one there
she left a long time ago with the money and the kids
and the life you shared
now you’re left sleeping all alone
in a bed for two p-ss drunk and miserable
drowning in the cold sweats, you’re a nervous wreck
as you soak up the fumes and the toxins
as you stare up at the ceiling fan
you wonder to yourself
“how the f-ck did this happen”
