Alive

Alive

Tell me who you are, have you thought about it?

Yeah, of course you have now its time to deal with it

Spoilt sheltered overfed kid

You believe you’re free standing on your own two feet

But you’re chained to your possessions

Too content to change and take part in the action

Instant gratification for the cynical child of the welfare nationAll all that

you should dare is so far away and to get there you have to

Break the day, to change your ways to throw away all you are today

Don’t want to help you out

Cause every morning kills me

As long as I wake up with you by my side

As long as we’re alike

No matter what the distance

My sun won’t rise

You’re a cartoon cut-out of the things that you mock

Incapable of thinking out of the box

Never opening your mouth unless so requested

Straight A student with no skills to protest

Blinded by pride thinking you’re so smart

Your thoughts and deeds lightyears apart

I thought you were the leader, feeder of minds

Boldly marching on to the new frontiers

But you’re nothing but a beaurecrat

With a sense of power

Slave to the rules and the office hours

Labourer without the vision

Namedropper in the hopes of gaining recognition

Don’t want to help you out

Cause every morning kills me

As long as I wake up with you by my side

As long as we’re alike

No matter what the distance

My sun won’t rise

I can smell deep dark trouble
