The System

You never heard a word your father said until he said goodbye and

now you walk these streets in agony just looking for the reason

why You try to tell me that you've played it safe, lain in wait,

looking for your reason to shine. And all this talk about

intensity your destiny, you're telling me You're going to be

just fine I want to believe you, but it's too late Finally

you've come to see that nothings as it really seems Your broken

dreams, your blue skies turn to gray. and now you've left me

kind of dangling, wondering if ever really felt this way I want

to believe you, but it's too late You say you're going to prove

yourself right say you won't go down without a fight you don't

know how "the system " is going to let you live, but

words alone almost always mean nothing the look in your eyes I

know that you're bluffing. Truth be known I think you never had

the will to give Waste away your life no motivation now But now

I've leamed how to walk away and let you go your separate way

before you drag me down And in between your tears you scream and

shout "you're selling out the water is overhead but I won't

drown" I want to believe you, but it's too late.
