I awoke with a start today determination set

Filled with expectation

Sacks of soul to collect



But I am so fearful of the future

Ignorant of the present

And wary of the past



And through the door I shuffle quietly down the hall

Identical corridors and artificial lights

The man in the box born to set my world to rights

Effortlessly soon ignites the screaming in my head

Reborn the catalyst will blow my joy away

Bet you thought that I'd have so much more to say



Come save me now



But I am so fearful of the future

Ignorant of the present

And wary of the past

And I don't want to

But it's now a case of have to

I piss away for pittance

And suck up to the man



No wonder I'm dying when I awoke with a start today
