Do this, not that
Work work, it doesn’t matter
Every day I slip away
Try to make tomorrow right

Gasp, I’m being crushed
Round and round I go, it’s too much
Wanna be better, it’s not enough
Try harder-what will be left?

Trapped and searching yet forbidden to wonder
Heavy load I carry not a soul can know
I am weak and a made up show
Half lost and 3 quarters drown
I am strong and will not make a sound

I see light soon eclipsed by shadow
Pleasures for others because I am alone
Years ago I made a vow
To live life of meaning
No matter the tears

My oath was swore, my hands tied down
I did not understand the price, now I beg to the ground
Hope for a God I dare not trust
I feel my pleas turn into dust
Gone with the wind just like me

Now the road is lonely and the nights long
My thoughts not without their merit yet if feels wrong
One day perhaps my toils will be read and not gone
Until then let it go away
