I see the smokestacks on my drive in
These fancy LED billboards have dead pixels already
The shipyard looms above the Narrows
Two freight boats played a game of chicken - everybody lost
Man, it's a long life
It's a long life
But I'm in it for the long haul
With a cargo hold of TNT and benzol
I sense I'm losing touch with people
A long post in a sub reddit, begins "Am I the asshole?"
The threat of burnout is fire and brimstone
But gaslighting myself can usually buy a couple months
And it's a long (long long long) life
It's a long (long long long) life
Guess I'm in it for the long haul
I'm around until I'm not, and then I'm AWOL
I see the smokestacks on my drive in
I swear they're getting bigger or
Maybe I'm looking too closely
