Same old day, waking up to skies of grey

Same old game, faking a smile to same old faces

“Hello”s and “how are you”s, spit them out just follow through

What’s the point of waking up?

Another year has passed

Killing time was all I’ve done

Been only 20 years

but I think I’ve lived enough

It’s wrong to feel this way

Can’t help but think of the promised place

These days are getting hard to stay awake

Promise me tonight you’ll find a way

Out of this sick old game

Tired of playing by the rules

Paint the skies if I wanted to

Can’t keep on living this cycle

No guarantee for tomorrow

I’ll find a life worth living for

I’ll find a place where I can call home

(Reality’s eating me alive)

This time I’ll find a New Oasis

All the days been living in idle

All the lies I’ve blindly followed

Time keeps running faster

Better catch up

Gotta find the answer

Show me how low we go

Who knew the winning path was such a lonely road

I see an ego careen below a middle C note

The depths of hell not hotter than my odds to ever be old

I need a “hello”, a “how are you”

The ground is glue

I’m stuck to the sound of new thoughts and regiments

Blacker than melanin

Back of the brain feel hollower than my skeleton

A puppet on a stage

Hope your night is entertained

Cut all the strings that tie me down

In hopes to run away

Life’s a game I never chose to play

In this nonsense world that’s full of fakes

There’s no escape

Promise me tonight you’ll find a way

Out of this sick old game

Tired of playing by the rules

Paint the skies if I wanted to

Can’t keep on living this cycle

No guarantee for tomorrow

I’ll find a life worth living for

I’ll find a place where I can call home

(Reality’s eating me alive)

This time I’ll find a New Oasis

All the days been living in idle

All the lies I’ve blindly followed

Time keeps running faster

Better catch up

Gotta find the answer
