Box Office Reports Lyrics

I grow another year older, feel a little bit colder

It gets harder to remember the past

Cause my clocks they are always alarming, my good friend joined the army

At least he has a career that can last

As they're selling lives to keep up a quota, I might start doing yoga

Maybe jog around the park a couple laps

Or go see a film on the big screen, my friend lets out a big scream

At the quiet part and everyone laughs

Cause in the darkness of the room we don't exist

As the rich or poor

We're just another number for the box office reports

As I send a check to stay in my apartment, can't help but feeling disheartened

All this money could have bought me a house

Or at least a nicer kitchen appliance, maybe a bachelor's of science

You know they say that knowledge is wealth

But not when you're in debt til you're dying, suddenly the loudest went silent

Burnt out like a star at the end of their career

They had one last chance to land the lead this time, the table read was a blindside

They lost the role despite how hard they tried

Cause in the artificial light they don't exist anymore

There's just a longer list of potential candidates for them to pay for

Cause if the marquee's lit then we'll show up anyways cause we're so bored

Eager to escape the lives we live every day, don't wanna live them no more
