The Summer of Our Discontent Lyrics by Chris Conde

Engulfed in the Marvelous Decay

2021

[Chorus: Chris Conde]
We all froze and did as told
Watched the world we knew burn slow
How is anybody satisfied? How is anybody satisfied?
When we've been hiding ourselves whole
How is anybody satisfied? How is anybody satisfied?
With anything that we've been sold
[Verse 1: Ceschi]
There's a tropical storm pummelin' Connecticut as I write this
Depression got so bad that I thought I caught the COVID
In a way, we all did, only some of us died
Another coward shot a father in the back seven times
He wasn't supposed to survive, they didn't want a lawsuit
They'd rather do PR campaigns and give kids balloons
Thеre's a war goin' on in my heart as I write this
Amongst thе fire and lightning, there's violence in the most subtle of silences
Grew to understand that most days, I'm completely useless
Comin' to terms with the fact that most days, I don't wanna rap
And I'm sick of the pain that truth brings
Does honesty improve a thing? Realizin' we got trumped
Or is that masochistic foolishness?
Sometimes, I wanna burn buildings and rob a billion bucks
Sometimes, I wanna carve ACAB into my knucks
Then fist-fuck a pig until he vomits out all of his guts
Tell him, "I'm just doin' my job"
The public says, "That's way too much"
Truth is, I don't believe that we could ever do enough to bring back lives
Labor and love that power and greed has stolen from us, it's true
What's smashin' another window gonna do?
Only wish we could smash glass cages we were born into
See beyond genders and races formulated for you
See beyond personas and scenes that are comically archetypical
Who am I to be talkin'? I play the miserable one
Watchin' douchebags on YouTube tell me how to make a buck
Grow a six pack, intermittent fast when I barely give a fuck
That serotonin my brain lacks is a pain in the ass and I'm stuck in a bubble of me
Six million ways to get free, but I'm lazy
Hope the revolution happens while I sleep
[Chorus: Chris Conde]
We all froze and did as told
Watched the world we knew burn slow
How is anybody satisfied? How is anybody satisfied?
When we've been hiding ourselves whole
How is anybody satisfied? How is anybody satisfied?
With anything that we've been sold
[Verse 2: Chris Conde]
Yo, I am only a human, I'm just tryna live
In the midst of this chaos, I'm just tryna fit
Find my place in the rhythm, learnin' how I can give
Searchin' for opportunities, tryna stay positive
But I am only a person, honestly I am scared
Feel like the world is endin' and I just don't feel prepared
And my depression is heavy like some of y'all unaware
The darkness is suffocatin', the burden's too much to bear
Finally comin' to terms with the fact all the powers that be really don't have our back
And I'm searchin' for answers while being attacked by the right and the left
And I just wanna go home and nap, fuckin' relax
Get rid of apps and take a little bath
Get myself back to the middle of a path
Get some rehab so I don't relapse
Tell me, why so much hate on Earth?
From the day we're born, we experience violence until we rest in dirt
And all through our life is a pain and strife, so tell me what is all this for?
I don't wanna die, but I'm sick of fightin'
And I kinda wish I could just go fly all up in the sky and get so fuckin' high
Open up my wings and soar
[Chorus: Chris Conde]
We all froze and did as told
Watched the world we knew burn slow
How is anybody satisfied? How is anybody satisfied?
When we've been hiding ourselves whole
How is anybody satisfied? How is anybody satisfied?
With anything that we've been sold
