when i try to look to my future,
i see a dead end wall that i'm gonna hit headfirst
i see a waterfall at the end of the river that's gonna take me down,
i see a pit of spikes that's gonna impale me through the chest
i see a void where i'm just gonna float forever aimlessly,
i see myself dying at the age of twenty-five when i don't have a job
i see a cliff that i'm gonna jump off of expecting to fly,
i see a gap that's gonna be too wide for me to cross
i see a train heading straight towards me on the track i've been on for eighteen years
i see a chain on my ankle that's gonna stop me from walking anymore,
i see a bed that i'm gonna lay in for the rest of my life
i see failure,
i see death.
