Despised Icon - The Ills of Modern Man lyrics

I have had it easy for most of my life
Adulthood has brought me a
Series of complications
Swallow these nails, turn away
I must not look back

The ills of modern man are much
Larger than my own personal battles
It feels like I have
Been fighting for nothing
The ills of modern man are much
Larger than my own personal battles
I have been too caught up in this
Crying game and I want out i want out
I am sick of hearing myself whine
Drink this wine and choke

Here I am
Still screaming away the same problems
That have fuelled this engine for years
I have bathed the faceless in a


Cesspool filled with my own tears

The ills of modern man are much
Larger than my own personal battles
It feels like I have
Been fighting for nothing
The ills of modern man are much
Larger than my own personal battles
I have been too caught up in this crying game
I quit

Deep down there is shade in all of
Us but there is also luminosity
My flaws have now been
Exposed by it's brightness
