do you ever get that feeling
where you're so tired of routine, you just want to run away
from everything familiar
do you ever feel lost, like you dont know where ur headed, but you know its not on the up and up

do you ever feel the despair, knowing what lies ahead isnt all sunny and roses


somedays i feel like tearing out of my flesh
no this isnt some alien spawn living under my sternum talking

but sometimes, even when im having the time of my life
i just feel the futility of it all
arent we supposed to be soaring?

the horizons are supposed to be infinite
but we dont seem able to get 3 feet off the ground

theres something missing
something lacking
it isnt even about fulfillment of dreams
cos even if we get there
big whoop
what then

what does all this
matter?
why should it

ambition
it makes a strive for higher heights
but for what
we put ourselves through the mental, and psychological somersaults
to get to what landing?
a better cafeteria?

they werent wrong you know
the hard headed fundamentalist

we're given freedom but we arent made for it
it was wrong to cage us, yes
but they did show us the importance of dreams
even if their version was outdated and irrelevant

now we're left with an open cage and open skies
but we've lost that road in the sky

help me
fly away from this land of winter
to the place of perpetual sun
cause i cant take this cold no more

when im with you,
my heart doesnt exactly skip a beat
but the world seems nicer
and i cant help turning back to see you smile
