Somehow I will escape

This God forsaken maze

Of mediocrity

before it kills me

 

 

With discontent ingrained

Its time to separate

myself from the haze

Of this town's hypocrisies

 

 

Refuse to accept this fate

Wont die trapped in this place

My tragic life a waste

doomed to fade

 

 

No impact made

Suffering was in vain

Sacrifices that we made

Haven't seemed to

pave the way

 

 

Financially enslaved

Options are all that we crave

I thought you'd want the same

The challenge lies in breaking away

from complacency  

 

 

Its hard to stay focused

With all of these distractions around

We both have scars from being broken

Still together comfort we have found

 

 

It's dark when you're hopeless

And you would rather lay down

A lifetime in fast forward

Until you return to the ground

 

 

Dig deeper

to find the strength

Your days are numbered

with every heartbeat

 

 

Take control, make a plan

Free your mind, unchain your hands

There's no future in being passive

Only straight jackets and caskets

Don't let slavery be your perspective

 

 

Avenues that have been handed to you

Were not earned so in turn you tend to abuse

The time that's shared

by those that surround you

Until it blurs and looses its value

 

 

Attitude continues to bleed through

Painting pictures

you try to hide from clear view

Sympathy for your poor planning

Feed the disease and become more damaging

 

 

Financially enslaved

Options are all that we crave

I thought you'd want the same

The challenge lies in breaking away

From complacency
