I’m like him, just like you
we all got nothing to live up to,
but there’s no way out of the race,
dump your hopes and dreams just to to keep up the pace.

then you realize, a misconception
has you caught in the void between anger and depression
you think of the days gone past
wondering how they could have went by so fast.

one step forward, two steps back

its every man for himself so leave em all behind
you’re bound to meet again at the finish line
the odds are against you to win the purse.
so sell you conscience for what you feel its worth.
