I gave my all and to no avail
A withered soul of so few years
A youth becoming stale
The weight of failure and disenchantment
The albatross around the neck
As I gaze into the abyss
It stares right back
Pacing, seething like a beast in captivity
Scowling out from within the cage of this society
Clawing, gnawing until claw and tooth grind thin
Trapped within this c**ture fighting wars that I can't win
I confess: I dream of eternal rest
When all of this madness ceases to be, at last!
I'll be at peace!
But for now, in the interim
The question remains of how to exist
While knowing that all efforts made for change
Will likely be in vain
(I fear it's all in vain)
Violence swells within my veins
As patience wanes
There's nothing left to lose except
The thunder in my heart
So let it roar
A withered soul of so few years
A youth becoming stale
The weight of failure and disenchantment
The albatross around the neck
As I gaze into the abyss
It stares right back
Pacing, seething like a beast in captivity
Scowling out from within the cage of this society
Clawing, gnawing until claw and tooth grind thin
Trapped within this c**ture fighting wars that I can't win
I confess: I dream of eternal rest
When all of this madness ceases to be, at last!
I'll be at peace!
But for now, in the interim
The question remains of how to exist
While knowing that all efforts made for change
Will likely be in vain
(I fear it's all in vain)
Violence swells within my veins
As patience wanes
There's nothing left to lose except
The thunder in my heart
So let it roar
