Day after day after day I wait for life to change
To wake up and be the swan, and no longer just be strange
I pace these empty halls and wait for my life to start
To find myself, to learn a trade, to create a piece of art
I lay awake most every night thinking of my dreams
They quickly turn to nightmares and I push down stifled screams
I don't know where I want to be, just anywhere but here
Nowhere's where I've found myself, living out my greatest fear
In school they always told me I could do anything I choose
Adulthood's not so black and white and if life's a game, I lose
I'm so tired of the daily grind and all my **** mistakes
Now I've found myself at crossroads wondering which road to take
I'm waking up this morning with a new found sense of purpose
To help the ones below me, and no longer just be worthless
