Everybody's moving out and moving away
Though it looks as if I'm here to stay
My Mind is chiseled, and my bodies grown old
I did as I was told, never dared to be bold

Somewhere along the way I quit
There was nothing else I could try to fit
It was my chance to live in ignorance bliss
So don't feel sorry for the miss

I chose to reject what I don't understand
In the end I never got the upper hand
Just a life of wasted dreams
And a debt to work for machines

I hope to find my soul again someday
I hope it was able to fly away
Fly far from this mess
Oh, how much I have to confess

When I die there'll be no burial for me to atone
My body’s already been turned to stone
Just face me out towards the sun
And know that my time is done
