Collecting Dust - Life Long Tragedy

On track to an early grave

And I don’t stand a chance against the monsters that my mind creates

I don’t want to be here, I just want to be numb

Escape the fucking people that believe in this system

You know they’re watching, counting on your mistakes

Waiting for failure, can you carry the weight?

Once had a future, now I’m watching it die

Damn my reflection in the shadows of night

Listen closely, hear this whole world crumbling

Slowly breaking patiently dissolving

And disgusted with being spoonfed my death-

I can taste it

Fuck my soul for collecting dust

I was down and out in the winter months

When I lost old friends that I used to trust

And left promises out in the rain to rust

Maybe I’m losing control

Cough up my lungs with the cynical

The older I get, still can’t shake the doubt

Still dwell on the shit that drips out your mouth

So let it be known

Let the fucking truth be told

You’ll do your best to establish a life on someone else’s time

Your spirit’s only borrowed

And all you know

You miss the days when you could’ve changed old stupid ways

And all the stars in your eyes have made it hard

To even want to be alive anymore
