Abandoned Aisles
gritty emo rockLyrics
[Verse]
My shoes worn souls split open
Mom's shrill voice cuts through tired mind
She drags me down the sterile aisles
Lost in this consumer hell
[Verse 2]
T-shirts screaming price tags glaring
Books stacked like oppressive walls
Pens and paper bind my spirit
Ghost of summer starts to fade
[Chorus]
Back to school is back to pain
Mom can't hear my silent screams
Why's the world so goddamn harsh
Trapped inside this nightmare dream
[Verse 3]
Fluorescent lights they burn so cruel
Mom's list longer than my patience
Crushed beneath the weight of expectation
Drowning in this plastic sea
[Verse 4]
Can’t escape her tight grip hold
She claims to know what's best for me
But freedom's just a distant memory
Under this retail tyranny
[Chorus]
Back to school is back to pain
Mom can't hear my silent screams
Why's the world so goddamn harsh
Trapped inside this nightmare dream
