Blank Slate
Wake with a blank slate
Time to put on the disguise that people see.
Stand in line and wait,
Pretend to behave, and be the best you could possibly be.
Laugh and smile behind a fake face,
Read and write behind an order of command.
It's a competition, it's a race.
Top of the page is your own official brand.
Shoving and pushing your way to a nonstop path,
#2 sheets are read by a computer.
Other than accomplishment, you feel your own wrath
Because you will always think about your future.
The future is near,
Permission to forget?
Anytime is a time to fear,
The past is full of regret.
White sheets that record information,
Directions to do everything.
An add-on to a timely situation,
Practice, practice on anything.
8 hours of brainwashing orders,
Ending off where you began.
Finding the answers, going beyond the borders,
Trying to form the perfect plan.
An emotionless day here and gone,
To find yourself in a restless state.
Do the same thing over again and so on...
Start again with a blank slate.
