Talking to the Waves

Don't look at me now
But woah, look at me now
I've grown, I've changed myself
For everybody but myself
I've known that's what I want but Who am I to want?
I do, so how long
Until my salary is gone?

Ever building, nonstop working
Contacts, friends and family irk me
Don't distract me, feelings pass and
I'll make sure my money lasts
In the waves look at myself look
What I've made, I've trapped myself
Yeah I'm paid, at what expense?
I've sold my life for affluence

If I quit my job today, what would that voice inside me say?
Acclimation means I'm safe, and time is one thing you can't save
Everyday I'm up at 5, work on everything but my life
Every second, watch my watch bend
Bored and restless, I need severance
Office sections, what's my preference?
Hold my weapons...

Every time I try to leave, I think of how much I've achieved
Look at all the things I've done, but how much matters once I'm gone?
