You're completely detached from all human relations. You've forsaken friendship for a "good education" The ideal that you follow is institutionalized deindividualization. Do everything that you've been taught. Take advantage of your young age. You'll get handed a wealthy future if you maintain perfect grades. Money can grant you many things, but happiness can't be paid for. A diploma can't relieve tribulation. It can only open doors. The kind that close quickly. Better choose now, or you'll be left wanting. Industrial society with programmed beliefs. Superficial values implanted seamlessly. Fierce leveled heads screwed on too tight. Friendly faces come, and go, shrinking in size. Focused on the horizon, leaving present days behind. Sometimes your aspirations destroy lives. Exchange a future of sentimental memories. Fill your every thought with the craving for prestige. You say time won't change us, but that's not what I've seen. Do you ever ask yourself what the hell you are doing?

Dizziness sets in as I awaken This empty bedroom illustrates my mind to life Sometimes I imagine you and I dancing Tomorrow has come, but you never woke up Where are you? I hope it's somewhere sweet Far from Michigan Doubt salivates inside our petrified forest of past chipper heights What the hell's the meaning of living if you no longer exist The more I get off my chest the emptier I become I felt you watching me the other day Maybe I've gone nuts If platitudes could've saved you I'd've saved you from yourself I swear

The earth stood still, or so it seemed When world war three was announced on the TV Hecticity filled the streets internationally Bombs defaced our entire world in a single heartbeat Every breath we take burns The world we knew lays deformed The monsters within us one It was atomic annihilation The blasts of light sent most running home Some accepted their fates, and watched the show Some were the lucky ones, their shelters were made of stone Billions dead, and millions more scavenging irradiated cities Oh my god! As we walked through the streets We stepped over the bodies of the deceased This world has been exchanged For a desolated catastrophe The trajectory of humanity was calculated falsely Where do we go from here in this wasteland? Our homes are ashes in the breeze Our friends, and our families are gone They're gone Grandchildren will share stories Of their grandparents apathy As the world burned

I watched myself sleep, woke a second too soon My eyes fixated on a translucent fume Into me again like a window I climbed But a part of me was left behind The abyss is a temptress Impossible for me to resist Every silence it beckons Wake me Up! Wake me Up! Sleep is becoming a prize Worth more than my entire life I try to pry open my eyes Wake me Up! Wake me Up! I feel it gnawing at my skin As I'm losing consciousness Forever auto piloted I've accepted it now Without intent I'm shackled inside Peering through someone else's eyes Unable to step into the light Where am I, Where have I gone

In the darkest moment of her life The needle pierced her arm for the first time She didn't want to read the deal she signed She vanished into the abyss by design Self retrain was a virtue Found only in her deepest dreams Its practice was made difficult By the strains of poverty The world tore at her heels Until it brought her to her knees She felt as though she were alone Adrift a toxic sea She wore sarcasm as a personal shield To deflect combatants on the dating field Men warmed her bed. Their egos must've been fed She obliged them so long as they were there It was difficult to change her point of view those days Her mistakes were stained upon her mirror A self-proclaimed escape was a mere expansion To the metaphysical cage she could not abandon In the darkest moment of her life The needle pierced her arm for the first time She didn't want to read the deal she signed She vanished into the abyss by design The girl she was got left behind To get her back she'd pay any price She touched her hand to the wall every night She swam towards shore, but couldn't resist the tide Her self-worth came from others eyes In her street-walking enterprise Pessimism blossomed turning her feeble So she found escape through a needle Her life became a series of disasters She envied her diaries previous chapters She hit rock bottom, and that's where she lay She's gone, but we'll never forget her face In the darkest moment of her life The needle pierced her arm for the first time She didn't want to read the deal she signed She vanished into the abyss by design
