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?
