Hallucination in a world gone mad
(that’s left me blinded)
A search for truth in a pack of lies
(it can’t be found)
A constant pull, no direction, no choice
(i’ll hold my ground)
It never stops, it forever just builds
(to tear us down)

Don’t let them break you. don’t let them grind you down
Don’t let them slit your throat. don’t let them bleed you dry

Nothing is sacred
Blood money and lies
Nothing is sacred
Death and profits rise

You trade your life for the promise of wealth
(then all hope’s lost)
Fall to your knees at the monetary altar
(and sell your soul)
Pledge allegiance to your own moral death
(it’s cast away)
And now you drowned in an ocean of greed
(just like the rest)

Don’t let them break you. don’t let them grind you down
Don’t let them slit your throat. don’t let them bleed you dry

Nothing is sacred
Blood money and lies
Nothing is sacred
Death and profits rise

Fuel the greed. sell your soul
Just believe. fuck the world

Fuck every day that living in this fucking nightmare surrounded,
Each waking hour every confrontation screaming fuck your
Shallow ideals, it’s to the point of suffocation.
I’m against the world so
Fuck me, fuck you fuck everything

Don’t let them break you. don’t let them grind you down
Don’t let them slit your throat. don’t let them bleed you dry

Nothing is sacred
Blood money and lies
Nothing is sacred
Death and profits rise

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
