Wandering towards obscurity.
Driven by the dull desires
Of a worn out routine.
Stagnant in the suffocating silence
Of emotional exile,
A fugitive from freedom
Surrenders to mediocrity.
A helpless voice
Starting to sink.
You could make a choice
But you never learned to think
Weary and weakened
Victims fall prey
To vague ideals
And passionless play.
Systematic spontaneity
In synchronized society.
Immersed in the cause
And the call of the day,
Sacrificed inner needs
Give way.
To shared individuality
In collective reality.
A spirit of belonging
Satisfies your longing
But the truth is never seen.
False sense of freedom grows
But dependency shows
Your part of the machine.
A hopeless choice,
Searching for someone real.
You could find that voice
But you never learned to feel.
Just another face in the crowd Wandering towards obscurity. Driven by the dull desires Of a worn out routine. Stagnant in the suffocating silence Of emotional exile, A fugitive from freedom Surrenders to mediocrity. A helpless voice Starting to sink. You could make a choice But you never learned to think Weary and weakened Victims fall prey To vague ideals And passionless play. Systematic spontaneity In synchronized society. Immersed in the cause And the call of the day, Sacrificed inner needs Give way. To shared individuality In collective reality. A spirit of belonging Satisfies your longing But the truth is never seen. False sense of freedom grows But dependency shows Your part of the machine. A hopeless choice, Searching for someone real. You could find that voice But you never learned to feel. Explain Request ×
