Time Slips Away

Used to spend time

Alone with myself

Would create things

Had time to just think



Now all my time

Is spent working two jobs

To make money

To pay all the bills



Day after day

Monotonous jobs

And time slips away

Insanity at brink



Want to do somthing

Worthwhile and good

’Cause time goes so fast

It gives me the chills



Feel like I have

No true identity

No music or style

Don’t know what I think



Feeling average and boring

Sometimes shallow and dumb

I’m missing common knowledge

And lacking of skills



When I do get a moment

It’s usually wasted

So stuck on the shallow

Can’t step outside the rink



Want to start thinking deeper

And learn about the world

These would make me as happy

As caffeine and pain pills



Want to earn some respect

Become identifiable

Have goals that are reached

So this burden can sink



Somebody help me

I know there’s more to this life

Just waiting to see it

Once I open my eyes
