...And So It Begins

And so it begins
An uphill battle from within
Blink the years, live the blur
Do you still cling to what you were?

People that I once called friends
I will never see again
I wonder how they have been
What has become of them?

And so it begins
An uphill battle from within
The worthy climb with urgency
Or tumble toward obscurity

Take control, the world's a stage
Is hard when you're stuck on minimum wage
Frustration builds upon concern
I've still got a lot to learn
It all manifests in apathy
A chaotic end ironically
Pressure is my decay
Why does it have to be this way?
Why does it have to be this way?

Hey old friend we meet again
Has your life gone as you planned
Neither has mine but no one's does
Cause I am not who I once was
I'll find strength in hope and love
And courage in the lack thereof
All I can do is all I can
That's what makes me who I am
That's what makes me who I am

And so it begins
An uphill battle from within
Restless regrets run away
The past is prologue for today
And so it begins
And so it begins
And so it begins
And so it begins
