Poster Child
I woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed, with these problems on my brain
Rumbling inside my mind, I guess some things never change
Got a mouth that keeps on running, all it wants is to complain
And a brain that keeps on thinking things that make me feel insane
I don't really know what to do with myself
I'm so sick and tired of making these excuses
All I want to do is improve on myself but I'm
Not inspired, and I think I'm about to lose it
Ever since "The Only Constant", I've been locked in my apartment
Being taunted by the feeling, I have hit my glass ceiling
Is this all I'm meant to be? Locked inside a 9 to 5
Killing time is killing you, and it's the slowest suicide
40 years of work, just for 20 years of freedom
Is a mediocre dream, that I just cannot agree with
All the time invested, cannot lead into a deathbed
Made of lifelong regrets and same old questions
Did I do what I need
Did I do enough
Was worth it the pain?
Or should I have given up
'Cause I don't want to be another poster child
For wasted time
Gotta do better, I cannot surrender the vision I had in my mind
I was ahead of my time, but life had caught up and it feels like I've fallen behind
'Cause I hate my job, and I know it's a problem
I say it too often, I'm backed in a corner
I'm tired of giving away every minute and hour
To something that won't take me forward
Because I want to shoot for the moon
And land on the stars
I don't want to settle for less
But I made the wrong choice and I took it too far
Wish I could turn back and regain what I lost
I gave up my soul just to pay for the cost
And it wasn't worth it
Wish I could reverse it
I heck my watch to know it's time to recognize all of the patterns
And just like the rings of Saturn, time will come around to undo all the damage
Being so self destructive, was so counter productive
I've interrupted the cycle, awaiting further instruction
'Cause I'm telling you that
40 years of work, just for 20 years of freedom
Is a mediocre dream, that I just cannot agree with
All the time invested, cannot lead into a deathbed
Made of lifelong regrets and same old questions
Did I do what I need
Did I do enough
Was worth it the pain
Or should I have given up
'Cause I don't want to be another poster child
For wasted time
For wasted time
Rumbling inside my mind, I guess some things never change
Got a mouth that keeps on running, all it wants is to complain
And a brain that keeps on thinking things that make me feel insane
I don't really know what to do with myself
I'm so sick and tired of making these excuses
All I want to do is improve on myself but I'm
Not inspired, and I think I'm about to lose it
Ever since "The Only Constant", I've been locked in my apartment
Being taunted by the feeling, I have hit my glass ceiling

For wasted time
