Textbook Case
Are you happy with the way you're living?
Alone and in the dark
In the dark
Turned your back on the ones who waited for you while you had gone awry
Always chasing the one who won't ever run you dry
If you've got money he's got the time
Cast aside everything you held dear
And now it's been so long
It seems it never was at all
Breaking bottles
All is lost
Your addictions have a cost
No excuses
I won't buy in
They're nothing but lies
Years past
Every day a new face to try on
Discourse as cheap as the highs you ride on
Believe me I've tried to wait patiently
But it's getting hard
So hard for me not to speak
Here's what I think
You're everything I never want to be
I hate to see a life so compromised
Potential sold just for a selfish drive
Every waking moment when we fail to change
There are choices made
We must search out life for today
Strength to live life for today
