Work to the bone for freedom Sacrifice all for freedom Choke your last breath for freedom Can barely call that freedom Forced start stacking up the pain Stuck in a rut between choice and necessity A pure concept soaked in detriment Fuelling my own greed It all feels the same now For nothing I've got nothing Was their truly benefit? Was it worth it baring down the hours? Piercing the seconds with a constant fixation to end it Advanced neglect for self-caring Biding for something I need something anything The motivation to take back control Can't stand and fight it break away from it Losing self-interest, a vile factor Gain over progress survive for the premise Indulge in the presence of a formless leader Terrorised by complaint accepting mistake pass judgement No hope to remain sane at the end of the day it's just to stay afloat So lost took it way too far But effort for token basics triumphs over lying disgraced in self wallow and misery Got to narrow your sight to see the wider picture And settle for nothing I've got nothing Yet it looms overhead symbolic as a filled noose hung in the light of a new day Split sentence dragging the will for consciousness from the depths its once crawled into A lower level of existence Recouping for something I need something now Just to keep pushing on Envisioned masters grip tight the chain Self-entrapment Follow the standard set by example Sold yourself to self-entrapment Contract failure determined path Still fall short to self-entrapment Broken system slave to self-entrapment Contract failure here lies lost life
