Get up
The minutes pass you by
Mechanically
They've no need to lie
To you
Passively watch as they wave
You're glued
To this path you've long paved
Your way has been set

In and out and out and in
Situations predetermined before you knew
There is no real way to win
Now, you find yourself turning blue
You were green at the start
Eager to get it done with ease
But now that that part
Is over you just want sleep
Forever in the menagerie of eternity
Heavy on your head and thoughts
Long is gone, the vanity of deceit
This is the life that your family has bought

Fearing a life of struggle and pain
Unsure of the path of least resistence
To join an organization, the same
As everyone won't give you a listen
To fight a war of secrecy
Killing innocents with a smile
Innocence is lost, you see
Might as well run your mile
But this life promised so much more
Your hopes and dreams scowl at your incompetence
Everything was so bright and white before
Now things continue to make no obvious sense
