[Verse 1]
Violence, violence, bleak and rotten
Got a head filled up with cotton
It's dishonest to ignore it
It's exhausting to implore it

[Pre-Chorus]
Mass extinction, flashes glowing
Microplastics in our clothing
Waterways are slowly going
Everything is decomposing

[Chorus]
Hard to be human, your home is a landfill
You fight over paper, pay taxes to kill
And you're supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark
The art of living paints shadows in my heart
There in my heart

[Verse 2]
Horror, horror, bleak and bloody
News broadcaster says it's muddy
Complicated and consuming
Educated people using
[Pre-Chorus]
Facts and figures, painting pictures
Showing bodies all disfigured
Experts say their side's the greatest
Celebrity on hiatus

[Chorus]
Hard to be human, your home is a landfill
You fight over paper, pay taxes to kill
And you're supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark
The art of living paints shadows in my heart
There in my heart

[Bridge]
Money, greed, excess power
Take a life, plant a flower
Wasted purpose and potential
That can make you existential
Money, greed, excess power
Take a life, plant a flower
Wasted purpose and potential
That can make you existential

[Chorus]
Hard to be human, your home is a landfill
You fight over paper, pay taxes to kill
And you're supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark
And you're supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark
The art of living paints shadows in my heart
There in my—
[Outro]
Supposed to find a meaning
Don't get eaten by the dark
