lyrics

Just another day of wanting to die
That's how it goes when you're living Stark Life
Just another day of wanting to die
That's all we know cause we living Stark Life

I want to live pain-free
But I can't and it hurts so I'd rather not be
You're crazy if you have no fear
Everyone I know has had a fucked up year
Mood drugs swim through my head
If I'm lucky then tomorrow I will wake up dead
All systems in the red
If I'm lucky then tomorrow I will wake up dead

Stark Life is a big black hole
And I'm not just talking about the opiate death toll
Not just talking about the mass shooting death toll
Not just talking about the suicide death toll

Barely got out, won't make it through another
If you think you need some help, it's a real motherfucker
The rulers on the hill don't give a fuck about your struggle
If you think you need some help, it's a real motherfucker

It's a sick sad world, that's American history
The poor in the void of compassion or victory
They preach God's love but it's all contradictory
Don't have to ask why, it's not a goddamn mystery

The money means more than you or I
You're just a statistic, who gives a fuck if you die?
A line on the budget they just can't afford
Unless you sell your body to their bullshit wars

$600 bil' in military costs
A freezer out back where ODs get tossed
Minutes to the buzzer and the odds are stacked
And they're counting on the fact that we ain't gonna fight back

So tell me are you gonna get organized
Or just stay awake at night wondering why?
Human desire cannot be satiated without cruelty

If you living Stark Life then you know the Stark Truth
That you learned from the suffering that you've been through
It's hard to give a shit when it all feels doomed
And these systems of oppression are meant to fuck you
