Buzzing In Infinite
This is your life...
and it's ending,
one minute at a time.
Do you ever sit and feel sure,
that there has to be more than this?
there has to be more
than days so empty
you want to cry?
when the future is a depressing farscape,
with no sign of change on the horizon.
Have you ever sat and waited
for your life to arrive?
Have you ever sat and waited
for the world to fulfill you?
You see, television leads us to believe,
that one day we will all be rich and famous,
that we all can change the world.
What bullshit.
And slowly, we come to accept the truth,
we come to accept the fact that we are not special,
and this revelation makes us extremely bitter.
Have you ever felt your world shrinking
in rapidly darkening shades of grey?
Have you ever struggled for an appropriate measure
by which to define yourself?
Have you ever sat within your walls,
within yourself,
and wished so hard that you had somewhere to go?
But anyway, what for?
All I crave is a dream.
We hum our trite tunes as we strive for society imposed ideals,
of fame beauty and fortune.
which so called experts will tell us are hollow.
Because apparently happiness is to be found
in day to day life,
and in the relationships we make along the way.
What shit.
Who is satisfied with their day to day life?
How difficult is it to find meaning in relationships?
This is your life...
and it's ending,
one minute at a time.
