This life is comfortableIt's like sleep on pain medication
It's like keeping the house clean while your husband works
It's like eating junk because it tastes good
But it's killing you
Those pills are addictive
And that man is abusive
That food is shit
But it's comfortable
It lolls you into a false sense of security that rapidly turns into complacency
And before you know it, you're gasping for breath
While life sits on your windpipe
But at first, it's easy
It's nice
It's safe
Safer than change
You don't know what's around the next bend
You could screw yourself
So, you don't move
You sit still
And slowly die
But that's okay
Because it's a nice kind of pain
Watching the world pass you by
It's bearable
It's a comfortable death.
