System Idle

Wasted year gone by
I never knew, how time could fly
End of an era, end of a life
No more poison to the mind
Reality overtakes us all
It smashes shit in your face
Feet down to the ground
Back to life, back to waste
When this confrontation with yourself occurs
Every doubt is shouted out loud in your subconscious
Every thought, every mind bend is doubted and weighed
I like to give my life a goal
I want to climb out of this hole
Wasted year gone by
I never knew, time could fly
End of an era, end of a life
No more poison to the mind
Reality overtakes us all
It smashes shit in your face
Smashed down to the ground
Back to life, back to waste
Crappy job, passed my way
New reality, day by day
New routines, to get custom to
Borrowing time to bore you, you, you
This path I take is forced, sensing false opportunities
Pain of change I feel
No securities
This path I take is forced, sensing false opportunities
Pain of change I feel
No securities
Attempts to rebound failed, miserable me
Trapped inside a system, idle
Me
