Synergy
Blessing a Curse Lyrics

Shut it down
A phrase to signify putting an end to something

A little older and a lot more bitter
Growing older has caused more resentment

Give me the shit end of the stick but I'm not a quitter
Willing to endure hardships, but not giving up

Can't admit defeat even if I'm down on my knees with no opportunities
Unable to accept failure even in the lowest moments with no options for success

So you can keep telling me
Others' pessimistic opinions can be disregarded

Dreams don't come true for people like you and I won't believe you
Refusing to be discouraged from achieving dreams despite being told it's impossible

We can't just suffer til we die
Life shouldn't just be endured until death

So click your heels together (together)
A reference to The Wizard of Oz, but implies wishing for something won't necessarily make it happen

But I guarantee you won't feel better
Promising that wishes won't translate to betterment

Cause there is no place called home
Feeling lost and alienated with no familiar place to call home

You're alone in this hole screaming
Feeling trapped and struggling alone

How did I get this low?
Questioning how things went so wrong

It followed me far from home
Problems and negativity have followed to a distant place

All that I found was sorrow
Only finding pain and sadness

There's gotta be more than despair and misery
Believing that life can be more than just misfortune

Ran out of time to borrow
Unable to rely on anyone else anymore

That day I swore I'd repair the synergy
Determined to fix and improve the situation

I'm at the end of my rope
At the point of hopelessness

I used to live
Recalling a time of living positively

I used to thrive
Reflecting on a time of success and growth

Now thanks to you I drift aimlessly in this life
Feeling directionless and without purpose due to another's actions

I'm just another fuckin' sunken cost fallacy
Feeling like a mistake or investment that's already failed

Malicious compliance is all you'll ever get from me
Being intentionally difficult or uncooperative in response to mistreatment

And there's no safe place to go
Feeling like there's nowhere to seek refuge or safety

Nobody leaves, leaves this place alive
Feeling like life is a trap and impossible to leave

Til you tell me
In need of answers or explanations

Why don't you give a fuck? (yeah)
Questioning apathy or indifference

There is no place called home
Reiterating a sense of feeling displaced and without home

There is no place called (what?)
Further driving the idea of lacking a sense of belonging

There's nothing more than despair and misery
Emphasizing a sense of hopelessness and bleakness in life
