Machine

Dug my way out like I wanted

Took 3 years of stress, but I got it

Changed my life, changed myself

It all took a toll on my health

Looking back I have to wonder

What did I do this for

Built a new life, but I don't want it

I'm back where I was before

Is it fear that keeps me here now?

Stagnation haunts my waking dreams

I'm trapped behind this desk now,

a machine behind a machine

Tried to stay away from this

Brok out o fthis life obscene

But is it all I know now?

Is this all I am?  A sight unseen?

So much left to do now

So much left in life yet to see

But I put my job before myself

Fell back into this dull routine

Is it fear that keeps me here now?

Stagnation haunts my waking dreams

I'm trapped behind this desk now,

a machine behind a machine

Am I just a machine behind a machine?
