Dying on the List

Rank and file a ladder to climb
Trapped at the top running out of time
BLEGH

Top of the list but it means nothing
Waiting for retirements comp time ending
Clock ticks louder anxiety growing
Will I make it before list's going

Should I start studying once again
Or trust in fate this vicious game
Dreams slipping through my fingers
As the old guard lingers

Dying on the list promotion fading
Years of work anticipating
Retire you fossils set us free
Or am I doomed to mediocrity

They hang on tight to power and pay
While our futures waste away
Violence flashes through my mind
Against those leaving us behind

Pressure building about to break
How much more can we fucking take
Screaming into the void each night
Desperation blinds my sight

Dying on the list promotion fading
Years of work anticipating
Retire you fossils set us free
Or am I doomed to mediocrity

Rage consumes vision blurs
Contemplating the unthinkable occurs
But I won't let this system break me
I'll claw my way to where I should be

Test again fuck that
Start over no way
Give up now never
I'll find a way whatever it takes

Dying on the list promotion fading
Years of work anticipating
Retire you fossils set us free
Or am I doomed to mediocrity
Dying on the list promotion fading
Years of work anticipating
Retire you fossils set us free
Or am I doomed to mediocrity

Time's running out list expiring
Dreams on the line fate transpiring
Will I make it or fall behind
Uncertainty plagues my mind
