Lyrics : 
We can't fix poverty
Yet structure the economy
Turn life into lobotomy
Then write lie into policy

Money isn't everything 
But buys you all but empathy
The poison's not the pudding
You should always check the calories

Finding balance in the madness
Means we're overweighing sadness
Like how drugs can be addictive 
Don't just lean on serotonin 

You might slip and start smoking
Till you no longer afford it 
A nine to five gets less important (Aye aye aye aye)
When your mind becomes folded

My bones have corroded 
Corrosion corrosion 
My vision is pointless 
The feeling's decoded 

My eyes bleed an ocean 
And ice when it's snowing 
I know I'm not alone in this
I just wish that you'd notice 

My bones have corroded 
Corrosion corrosion 
My vision is pointless 
The feeling's decoded 

My eyes bleed an ocean 
And ice when it's snowing 
I know I'm not alone in this
I just wish that you'd notice 

We swear to god we're free 
till you buy or sell some weed
We're not cogs in the machine
It doesn't function on belief 

Scream no justice no peace 
But won't talk back to police
It's kinda sad sightseeing 
When they sell life back to me

They say we have a voice
 Like I'll ever have a choice on policy 
Instead I pick who lies to me
To sell me on a pipe dream 

Because their ads targeting 
Based on my ethnicity 
I can see that change 
is never happening

My bones have corroded 
Corrosion corrosion 
My vision is pointless 
The feeling's decoded 

My eyes bleed an ocean 
And ice when it's snowing 
I know I'm not alone in this
I just wish that you'd notice 

We can't fix poverty
Yet structure the economy
Turn life into lobotomy
Then write lie into policy

Money isn't everything 
But buys you all but empathy
The poison's not the pudding
You should always check the calories

Finding balance in the madness
Means we're overweighing sadness
Like how drugs can be addictive 
Don't just lean on serotonin 

You might slip and start smoking
Till you no longer afford it 
A nine to five gets less important 
When your mind becomes folded

Poverty

I wrote this song in its entirety and have been meaning to upload it here for the better part of a year. It isn't mixed well but it was the first time I made everything but my sample from scratch.

Dying Society

My Only Heaven In Eden

This is a rework of a song I recorded, mixed, and mastered live on twitch https://www.twitch.tv/overmention.

Meditative Excess

I am in a depressive lull trying to see my way out of the life I want to love and it isn't adding up. The want to use drugs to escape is something that greets me ever time I am forced to sleep. I need work and I have a degree in a field that may just end up becoming automated in the end. My life is stagnating and I am not seeing the fruits of my labor come to realization.

hold on

I only realize now I will have to make a cucked version of this song because I used the mw2 (2007) callouts for the emp, tactical nuke, ac-130, and other screams to make it. 

I was originally trying to make a certified phonk classic and instead genre bended so hard I may have lost my marbles. If I had to say it was anything before garbage, it would probably be an ambient electronica, trap, shoegaze, rap song. 

I will post the lyrics when I have more music to offer before my free trial of SoundCloud ends and I have to make a new one.

I have exceeded my uploads for three SoundCloud accounts now

Bluegrass by Overmention 

I did what I was supposed to
Graduate from a good school
Stop looking for the bad news
My dreams too good to be true
Always got lost in the background 
Finding myself in a girl downtown 
Club life’s fun till the sun’s out
Real life’s a hard come down
I don’t think I’ll ever come home now
To burden mom with how I felt
To be surrounded by that misery 
Glum slum of a city
I remember wanting a friend i could cry to
Now I’m a bitter bad mood
Away from a tattooed
Mistake that I can’t see through
Keep a strap for protection 
But still think of ending it
More than I think I can tell my therapist 
I stopped wondering if I’ll feel again
Right now I just want to live
But clearly there must be something missing 
I can’t be the hero that I needed as a kid
I gotta lot of debris to dig through 
Fore I’ll ever let another in again
I can’t be the bigger person 
When there’s people I’ll never see again
I ain’t had a minute to myself to realize what it’s gonna take to heal that broken kid
Taking money over a body 
some shit I hope you’ll never live 
Swear I’ll never do this shit again
Losing what I’ve lost was always in the cards
But damn it feels like it’ll never end
I fall in and out of love with those I put above my needs
I guess that’s the thing with living life right
There was always going to be a sacrifice 
If that’s all there ever was
Putting others at the forefront 
Is all that matters in the long run
It’s been real
It’s been tough
I can’t say I've had enough 
cause I’m still here
But will I be in the same space in a few years 
In a few years

Nihilistic Optimism by Overmention

I ain’t have to be an optimist 
To see my only part in this
I exist to pick apart the cards
To make due with the hand in mine

I am trying not to cross a line
With those I would like to crucify
It’s hard enough just choosing life
Numb enough to make it mine
I am at the brink of extinction 
With every breath I take
I'm working beyond restriction 
Trying not to be evicted 
So I’m sorry for the mess I make
If you’re offended you can 
Wait your turn in line to cry
I’m tired of just waiting out the fucking time

I’ve heard that’s the only way to heal
I just didn’t think I’d forget your voice
Looks like I don’t have a choice
Hard to hear through the digital noise

I know what it’s like to slam the door 
On those I love 
on those I trust
I’m over trying to run away
If it’s up to me 
I’d make you fucking wait 
Until I’m strong enough to accept your fate

I ain’t have to be an optimist 
To see my only part in this is
To forget I can’t play god with this
Hand I have fallen out of love with
I am trying not to cross a line
With those I would like to crucify
It’s hard enough just choosing life
Numb enough to make it mine

I am at the wits end of extinction 
With every breath I take
I'm working beyond restriction 
Trying not to have deserved this
I’ve heard that’s the only way to heal
I just didn’t think I’d forget your voice
Looks like I don’t have a choice
Hard to hear through the digital noise
I know what it’s like to slam the door 
On those I love 
on those I trust
I’m over trying to run away
If it’s up to me 
I’d make you wait 
Until I’m strong enough to accept your fate

I ain’t have to be an optimist 
To see my only part in this
Is to forget I can't play god with this
Hand I've fallen out of love with
I am trying not to cross a line

With those I would like to crucify
It's hard enough just choosing life 
Numb enough to make it mine
I'm at the brink of extinction
With every breath I take

I am working beyond restriction
Trying not to be evicted

Optimistic Nihilism

Technically a reupload, but the bpm was off last time so it's a different song
