Awake (To A Life Of Misery)

Awake (To A Life Of Misery)

Thought trained to succeed.

From here on the pain begins.

We're maggots, cast in the sea of struggle -

Bait for the big fish.

Crawl, forever crawling,

Faith holds no answers,

Ravenous - they greedily suck away your will to even argue.

A belief in something better,

Downtrodden hopes still linger,

Faces bear the same shallow fear of forgotten prosperity.

Powers change.

The promise of reward,

Declarations false and injust,

Tame insecurity.

A dreamlike notion that life eases by.

Cushioning the blow of impending reality,

Aimlessness is flogging us - awake!
