Lyrics autarkeia - You've Earned It

holes at the elbows
the outside a little lighter than the inside
avoidable
rusted van still running
choking smell of dust
settled after years of work in the sun
forgotten
health conditions not cared for
prescriptions not filled since the last year
worthless
because there’s no money being made
avoidable, forgotten, worthless

palm trees, condo balconies
paved driveways, swimming pools
take a picture
you’ve earned it
your children deserve it.
country clubs, secure gates, detailed cars
you’ve earned it.
you’ve earned this and we’ve earned this
we’ve brought it upon ourselves
but we’re all dying
we’re all dying and we want more
we’re all dying
we don’t miss our things when we’re breathing our last breath
