Games We Play

Yeah, one day at a time, just building it piece by piece
I'm locked up mentally, just looking for a release
Calling the shots, trying to connect the dots
What you would call a victim of my own thoughts
Struggling, am I the main character in this life I live
They take it, but my dumbass continues to give
Like I said I struggle, this and that I try to juggle
Stuck in a muddle, am I heading towards trouble
It's like the older and older I get
The more I seem to forget
What's my purpose, growing up, I thought there'd be more to life than this
But I stand like I'm suffering from rigor mortis
They don't know this, better yet, they don't even notice
So I sit alone on the dock like I'm Otis
Asking the Big Man if my time will ever come
Lost and confused, my emotions are numb

It's the same routine, it passes by like every other
When I wake up asking why do I even bother
I'm trying my best and nothing ever adds up
So I sit back, I think I'll go for another cup
It's the same routine, it passes by like every other
When I wake up asking why do I even bother
I'm trying my best and nothing ever adds up
So I sit back, I think I'll go for another cup

My mind's decades in the future
As if it couldn't come any sooner
Thoughts of death constantly on my mind
Like damn, am I running out of time
Thoughts and visions of where I wanted to be
Sadly enough I guess that just ain't the life for me
Time passes by and I just sit waiting
Stuck, I'm perpetually contemplating
Like what's my next move
As if I'm waiting for somebody to approve
That green light, the ready set go
Too timid, you guessed it, I just don't know
But I know I have no time to waste
He be like, damn son, you better pick up the pace
You keep messing around and you'll end up last
You better act quick because life comes at you fast

It's the same routine, it passes by like every other
When I wake up asking why do I even bother
I'm trying my best and nothing ever adds up
So I sit back, I think I'll go for another cup
It's the same routine, it passes by like every other
When I wake up asking why do I even bother
I'm trying my best and nothing ever adds up
So I sit back, I think I'll go for another cup
