self preservation - the end of ambition

life is so long when you spend it waiting for

all the things you'll never be getting

everything you don't deserve is everything you want

you think you deserve everything you want

now you're getting older

your whole life is over

the glass stares right back - you watch yourself disappear

in the bathroom mirror - like so many others

in tunnel vision we see ourselves with eyes wide open

lying awake at night hating ourselves

for not living the life that we should have led

life is so long when there?s nothing worth living for

life is so long when there?s no one else
