Underpaid
Frustrated every day
On the verge of a mental breakdown every other day
But hey, like Smashing Pumpkins once said
Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage
In this rat race, I want to escape
I feel like Simple Plan
Welcome to My Life
But the plan isn't so simple
It's unpredictable
Miserable
I'm not invincible
Yet I try to be
I guess that will have to suffice
Sike!
Should I take a chance and roll the dice?
Or play it safe and hide?
I feel like each day a piece of me dies
Deep inside I want to cry
I feel like a slave
I feel like my world is caving in
All I crave is peace
But instead, I'm exhausted and tired
I'm so sick and tired of being tired
Wired off the coffee
But I need another cup
Fill it up please
Anxiety inside of me
Depression too
But what am I to do?
I have to keep pushing through
Even though I don't want to
When does it end?
Trading time for money
Until I'm dead and buried
It's scary
Lost and confused
Trying to figure out my next move
I pray that I do soon
So, I don't become consumed
In a dark place that I hate
That can't be my fate
I have to escape this rat race!
