A song about the guilt I felt working in a bar who's main clientele were alcoholics who were slowly killing themselves with what I had to offer.
lyrics
My hazard lights are flashing in the night,
Creeping up inside and draining down my life,
Everything's a blur, can't focus on the focal point and what's the point in working towards a goal you'll never reach?
My incapacity is what encourages me to speak,
It's forcing me to make a stand and fuck the man that told us we'd be okay,
These are words you'll never hear me say, I never saw the point anyway.
My job entails a tiresome routine of filling up the souls with liquor and disease,
Swelling in their seats, I can't help but feed them until they swallow their defeat and walk away.
Another day, I pray they walk back through the door to keep my piece of mind,
I'm feeling too responsible but I can't act unkind,
The day they die's the day I let the devil judge my sin and shed the skin I'm in.
My incapacity is what encourages me to speak,
It's forcing me to make a stand and fuck the man that told us we'd be okay,
These are words you'll never hear me say, I never saw the point anyway.
