Moratorium

It must be hard on you
Now you see things as I do
Labouring harder at the verge of despair
But everyone tells you that it is just fair

I don't see
What you promised me

If you keep spinning me
I won't fit into society
A believer is a coward unable to spot
That everyone follows his own selfish plot

Don't show me
What I can't achieve

Led by nothing I found the same
Compromise will make you tame
Embrace the mediocrity
An Illusion of security
But I see it everyday
True love fades away
So what is there to stay?
If it is not you

It is not supposed to be a race
And we're allegedly the same
Now you spread your wings and fly
But careful if you break them you'll die

Circumspection has been learned
Perspective changes, tables turn
And only one conclusion to draw
The cynic is right after all

So I gave in
To a future grim

Led by nothing I found the same
Compromise will make you tame
Embrace the mediocrity
An Illusion of security
But I see it everyday
True love fades away
So what is there to stay?

And when the mirror shows you
Its objective truth
And you've become the one
That you feared that you would

You don't feel like you've failed
But still you regret
It's a result of all the
Choices that you get

Deaf for my own words
My life is a mess I can't restore
Alone in a place
That I once called my home
On a mission to perdition
I feel paralysed
Doomed in a world
That left me consumed
God, help me!

Led by nothing I found the same
Compromise will make you tame
Embrace the mediocrity
An Illusion of security
But I see it everyday
True love fades away
So what is there to stay?
If it is not you
