What do you see?

Caught in the Middle of a Dream (feat. Brandon McLeod)

Holding On

Are you middle aged and have you lived through the early 2000s wondering WTF is going on? You'll get this one.

Wracked with guilt at the bottle bank
Each one a jagged tale
Another fight
Another bad night
Feeling withdrawn
Poisoned and pale pale pale 

So, go on, update your status
You're really happy 
You're happy really? 
Cos look what you cooked

Wrapped in a quilt at the food bank 
Shivering in shame
You could be free
But how would they eat?
Strategic withdrawal 
Find a new name name name 

Who cares about your status? 
You're really happy
You're happy really? 
It’s not a good look

You’re trapped in a vault and it’s all your fault
They have more than you and it’s all your fault
You made it your vocation
To forget the combination
An eligible spinster
Has no place on insta

Ragged and wrought at the blood bank
Those organs bear the scars
Brain chemistry
Makes fake life history
Support withdrawn 
And fading so fast fast fast

And who cares where your grave is? 
You’re really happy
You’re happy really? 
Reduced to a book

Now, go on, update your status
You’re really happy 
You’re happy really? 
Cos look what you cooked

I’m still here at the bottle bank 
For years at the bottle bank 
Still here…
