Dead Ends

Force myself to open my eyes as light breaks over this empty room

Shut out the sound of droning thoughts

My feet have finally found purchase on a ground

Made up of past mistakes and dejected days

I just can't grasp this life of giving in

Am I supposed to say that I'll find my way towards happiness

Stuck in a world where success

Is measured by how much we're willing to spend

Punch the clock and waste away until the f**king end

And maybe I've ruined everything

But I'll never regret the time I've spent

Fighting for something more in a helpless world

In a helpless world
