R.I.P
Ryan Oakes Lyrics

They said I need a five year plan,
People have told me that I need to have a clear, long-term strategy for my life.

I guess, I might as well just kick the can,
But I feel like it's pointless and futile to even try.

They said I need a 9 to 5
Society expects me to conform to a traditional job with regular working hours.

That’s death, by social suicide,
However, I believe that following such a path would lead to a life devoid of excitement and individuality.

Another drink in,
To escape from these societal expectations and pressures, I find solace in consuming alcohol.

No point in over thinking,
I realize that overanalyzing the future is pointless and prevents me from enjoying the present moment.

Tomorrow isn’t coming at all
I have lost faith in the idea of a promising future and believe that tomorrow will hold no significant changes or improvements.

So We’re gonna party like we’re already dead
Therefore, we should live our lives to the fullest without worrying about the consequences, embracing a carefree and rebellious attitude.

We’ll be given em hell not ready for heaven yet
We will defy societal norms and expectations, refusing to conform or seek a conventional sense of fulfillment.

And were not going to sleep
We will stay awake and active, not wanting to waste our limited time on resting or being idle.

Til were resting in peace
Only when we eventually pass away will we allow ourselves to find true peace and tranquility.

When do you run when there’s no where to escape,
In situations where there seems to be no way out or relief, how do you find a way to escape?

And you’re stuck in a nightmare and better off awake,
Being trapped in a horrifying and distressing situation, it is preferable to remain awake rather than face the horrors within one's dreams.

I been up for days now my legs starting to shake,
I have been awake for an extended period, causing physical exhaustion and trembling in my legs.

there’s a stairway to heaven but at least I’ll be in shape
While there may be a path to a better life, I will be physically prepared for whatever challenges may come my way.

I’ma grab an 8th and 5th of some bourbon
To cope with the difficulties and uncertainties, I will indulge in substances like a bottle of bourbon.

And watch churches slowly turn to a circus,
Observing how religion and its institutions lose their solemnity and become chaotic and entertaining.

The curtain's pulled and now everyone purging,
As the truth is revealed, individuals are releasing their pent-up emotions and burdens in a cathartic manner.

And letting go of all of their burdens,
People are freeing themselves from their troubles and weighty responsibilities.

And now I just keep on drinking
In the midst of all this chaos and uncertainty, I resort to continuous alcohol consumption as a coping mechanism.

The more that I keep thinking
The more I dwell on my thoughts and worries.

The future isn’t coming at all
I have lost faith in the notion of a promising and fulfilling future, feeling that it will never arrive.

Fuck it
In an act of defiance and rebellion, I choose to disregard societal expectations and norms.
