Evacuate Chicago - Time Lapse Photography

His eyes are bloodshot
From staying up late again last night
He dreads the daylight
It robs him of choice within his life

His face is empty
He works the same job at 53
He hopes for something
But isn't quite sure what it might be

And someday he might awake to find he's glad to get up
But that day seems farther and farther and farther away

Drive
Day in
Drive
Day out
He keeps on keeping on

Drive
Day in
Drive
Day out
He keeps on keeping it here

They pay the burden
And watch it all going down the drain
They know for certain
The problem won't wish itself away

They watch the TV
And they try to escape the truth they dread
Inside they're screaming
While suffering for their daily bread

And they breathe a sigh
As one more task is taken care of
But that break won't last
Until there is one more price to pay
And someday they might
See that the wound is finally healing
But that day seems
Farther and farther and farther away

Drive
Day in
Drive
Day out
They keep on keeping on

Drive
Day in
Drive
Day out
They keep on keeping on

Drive
Day in
Drive
Day out
They keep on marching on

Drive
Day in
Drive
Day out
They keep on
When going's all you have

It doesn't have to be this way
But it continues on anyway
You'll know you live your life in fear
When any day becomes every day

And so it goes, you struggle on
So much harder that it has to be
A choice is made to have no choice
As you submit to your misery

Misery
Suffering
Misery
Keeping on

Misery
Suffering
Misery
Keeping on
Keeping on
Keeping on
Keeping on
Keeping on
