Crashing Down - NIEKO, Amadeus Indetzki

I feel like

All I want is to make a decent living

I work long hours and I’m trying to be persistent

Rejecting over time would be a weak decision

I just wanna look at my bank account and see some digits

As a kid I reached for the stars my dreams were vivid

But what I’ve become is not what the younger me envisioned

I thought the future would be so different

And the clock is running I can hear it ticking

And I’m being distant

Neglecting my social life

I leave my place in the morning and I come home at night

I think of work when I close my eyes

I put my dreams and my hopes aside

I feel empty and alone inside

It’s like whenever I made money — I sold my time

And I’m taken for granted

But I never take any chances

Just thinking about losing my job is making me panic

God Damnit

I can’t stand it

I guess the company’s taking advantage

Of me until the day that I vanish

Off the face of the planet

Chorus (Lisa Benjamin)

When the sky comes crashing down

Turn your life around

Because your time is running out

It’s the life in your years that count

I feel like

Luxurious are starting to become necessities

So many things I’m supposed to buy so people don’t think less of me

Society makes me believe that I need it desperately

My greed got the best of me

I want happiness but I can’t find the recipe

I want new clothes and a better car

But I disregard

My money problems and just keep swiping my credit card

I know that getting out of debt is hard

I wish there was a way to press restart

These dead presidents possessed my heart

In the blink of an eye my whole damn life fell apart

And I’m tossing and turning all night long cuz my mind’s always racing

I regret every dime that I wasted

How could I be so blind and impatient

I was striving for greatness

But reality smacks me right in the face when

I get threats in the mail cuz I’m behind on my payments

And I hate the fact

I’m unable to escape the trap

It will take years to pay it back

Damn if only I could change the past

I crush my bottle and break the glass

Punch the wall like a maniac

It just makes me mad

My bright future — fades to black
