Reduce, it’s no use
Compromise? Alway refused
Never enough
I forgot who I was
There is no world
Outside these walls
I have you,
And you are all.
Forget my friends
Fuck my family
No need to worry
I have you
You’ll burn those bridges for me
Reduced to dust
Nothing left but a husk
Never enough
Erasing who I was
You say to jump
I ask, “off of what?”
Never enough
Reduced to dust
Do you even hear yourself?
You’re so dependent it's pathetic
The rug was pulled from under me
And the hardwood turned to concrete
Never around, I let everyone down, I’m
Collapsing on solid ground
Personality censored
I'm worse for weather
Convinced this will get better
Like a single-use plastic that won't degrade
The scars you left will never fade
Reduced to dust
Nothing left but a husk
Never enough
Erasing who I was
You say to jump
I ask, “off of what?”
Never enough
Reduced to dust
Reduced to dust
Nothing left but a husk

Reuse

Hiding in plain sight
Or pretend like we don’t bite
We’re all plastic in my eyes
It’s hard to hide the truth
Falling all about
Tantrum will cry and pout
Don’t wanna be broken down
Or reused for fuel
But maybe
I’ve been thinking lately
That this just ain’t for me
I’m giving up
Selfish
You call me selfish
So that I’m plastic and vacant
Hackneyed and reused
Won’t undo the clock
With every second that you’ve got
Hiding under thin layers of cloth
Don’t wanna get caught
Fails us every time
Facade fractured like spines
Meant to hold us up sometimes
Leaves us paralyzed
But maybe
I’ve been thinking lately
That this just ain’t for me
I’m giving up
Selfish
You call me selfish
So that I’m plastic and vacant
I can’t get enough
Forfeit
I guess I’ll forfeit
This just ain’t for me
I’m out of luck
Plastic
Fine I’ll be plastic
It’s crude and it’s toxic
I can’t get enough

Recycle

Becoming one with the earth
The fam said I always played in the dirt
Will it hurt?
Oh, oh, oh!
Not gonna sit in a box
No cubical or pine, that's not what I want
What I want
Is to be thrown away
And not take up space
One is all I heard
All as one they say
Don't block me off from the earth
Don't let me go to waste
Let’s live on in some kind of way
Not like you know
What comes next
At least let’s give something back in the end
I'm planning the fall
Order the fertilizer we all know what comes next
Oh, oh!
In my city
Sitting pretty
Destroy the planet
If you feel like
We're all that shitty
I guess it's fitting
Cold front is chillin’
Don't fear for your life
To the point that we don't go outside
Have a lot of us scared to live our lives
Burn down forests
Rain or snow I mind
Just recycle me to the earth I've done my time
To all the pain that’s in my brain
Reduced to soil, reused again
When roots begin to pull me in
We’ll spread across the globe again (at last)
You see enemies, they’re breathin’ deep
The Co2, it will deplete
Clean air for all when I'm reborn
Reduce amount to save lifeforms
But are we worth the troubleshoot?
Our caskets just take up room
Three generations fondness will fade
And all that they will think to say
Here lies a heap of rot and decay
Here lies a heap of rot and decay
Here lies a heap of rot and decay
Here lies a heap of rot and decay
