about

This is my first track as "The Cosmic Gospel".
The song is about how some people manage to live in a system that forces them to be automatons with no will and no love.

lyrics

Can you describe your everyday life
overwhelmed in your empty cage
eating well and sleeping well
waiting for paying your rent
what's the deal, what's your name
there's a crowd in your coin shaped head
you can't get sick, you can't play
men don't cry, men don't hide
How do you live
craving for nothing at all
keep your house clean
keep your nails short
How far can you walk
with those expensive shoes
oppressed by fake dreams
no one should die like you
Many years ago you were free
father's words reoccur to you
"be someone or you'll be like a plant with no sun"
now you're a worm in a plastic dream
you can't find love, you can't find peace
no one to trust, no one to feed with you heart, with your lungs
troubles
our time is gone

I played and recorded all the instruments except the drums because I'm a shitty drummer at the moment (thank you Addictive Drums).
