"Dollar Downfall Pt. 1"
It's not happening like it's spos'ed to
I'm not only not fulfilled
I'm emptying faster than a broken vessel
No philosophical complaints with which to wrestle
I'm drowning fast
No one can help
It's a sad situation so far
Depression left me for love once
Then love asked for nothing
And I gave her everything
But she didn't remember
Because she didn't ask for everything
I covered love with financial commitment
And then love faded away
I don't know how to fix it now
It seems utterly useless
I used to think I mattered
Now nothing matters
Until these matters are solved
