Can't Sleep... Mind Racing
Overwhelmed or underwhelmed?
Hard to place it
This chain around my neck,
When will it relinquish me?
I've become a slave, we all have
Unless of course you've "made it"
Slaves to the American Dream
That our dreams of success are right beyond the horizon
Work hard and sure enough that dream
will burn much brighter
I can taste it, feel the heat
Or maybe that's because of the burn
From the scraped knees
Collected from the constant falling
Rejection, silver lining, progression, rejection
A vicious cycle, that one shouldn't strive to
We live in an age where hard work and dedication, falls short to a connection
Where cellphones and internet rule the world
Making us feel less connected
Call me old fashion but I'll stay true to myself
Truth is there are no guidelines to life or
our pursuit of wealth
Not trying but doing our best is all we need
Not about what the world wants,
but about the person we see
Being rich and successful means nothing
without a peace of mind,
Because that's the only wealth that will save us as we
walk the line
