Standing there in mid routine
something I never wanted
it's just there
and each day it gets more tiring
to be a part of the machine

Stupified by todays youth
I wanted nothing more than to
just forget them
and spend each of my days wandering
farther and farther from you

Retaliating back in my head
I know I could do it all in person
if only I could
so I'll spend each more tiring day
pretending like I did what i just said
I tried to be a better me
In the end I looked like the rest of them.

    But couldn't you do it?
    Wouldn't it be possible to step out?
    Change the routine?

    Here's something I wrote years ago which I think is along the same lines. Tell me if I'm wrong.

    Start it up
    gettin out of here
    don't matter where I'm going
    no sense of direction
    just putting it all behind me
    Don't look back
    can't relax
    until it's out of my sight
    won't waste my breath
    save my strength
    to fight the good fight

    All inside my mind
    disillusion and lies
    remember how it was before?
    I can't recall
    running so fast just to keep it behind me
    hear what he said, there's a light up ahead
    It shines from deep inside me

    It never stops
    sweep the dirt and it returns, repeat
    It never ends
    fight and lose, fight and win until we sleep

    looking back it's too far to see
    the future lays ahead of me

    It is along the same lines and I like both of them. I can relate.

    I know just how you're feeling.
    I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.
