Wake up to the darkness of another day 

you're determined: today you'll get away 

but all too soon you find that your day is set 

and you haven't figured how to get out yet 

all the images are so confusing 

the thoughts in your head are so bruising 

coffee table world is so alluring 

all the lines you drew once are blurring 

you once were the rebel - so full of hate 

now it seems the suit doesn't fit so great 

view yourself a bit uneasily 

this wasn't how it was going to be 

you know that rationales are far too easy 

but you've got to pay the rent and stay warm 

ideals battle with reality 

you view the world as you know it to be 

you built a foundation - but it's hard to stay 

truth be told - no one gets away 

you say of course things change - well I know things change 

but that doesn't make it easier to piss it all away
