Our Own Design

Life dragged me down a path walked too many times before The ones I left behind I rarely call to mind And I've lived to the standards that society expects A clichéd routine, fulfilled my obligations to the machine I won't walk down that path I'll be the last in line I can see through the veil cast over my eyes I'll live how I want, not how I am obliged I want to live, and not just survive I won't walk down that path I'll be the last in line F*ck the mediocre existence brought by our own design Falling victims to our past Our lives etched in the grain The plot's the same, the cast have changed Somethings will always be this way I won't walk down that path I'll be the last in line I can see through the veil cast over my eyes I'll live how I want, not how I am obliged I want to live, and not just survive
