In a mindless rush
To get from one moment to the next
I fumble around in this desolate town
Filled with hopes and dreams

I work in a lab printing toys
Can't even afford to bring them to life
Sometimes I look at the lifeless beings
And wonder, Is that how they look at me ?

I walk from home
I get on a train
I walk to work
Where I pretend to be busy
I take the train
I go to class
Where I pretend to learn

Then I come home to a cold bed
Falling asleep in no one's arms
Look how alive I am
