Present Bleak

I tripped the wire, you can see it in my eyes Sold my dreams to a tyrant in disguise All behind me now, straight ahead murky ways I've been romantic fool, dystopian wise From wrong springs right, the truth dripping lies Now I'm standing at the fork, with nothing left to say Someday somewhere a new sun may rise A constant source we can't kill or buy My past is fiction, my memory's meek Future uncertain, the present bleak My heart's still strong, but my mind is getting weak A prison cell inside and out No words to scream, no lines to shout Try to find the will, but I'm feeling only fear All my dreams turned galactic dust My soul condemned to scientific rust Time's flying past, but I'm still standing here A sentence set for no crime A solitary confinement of my mind My only guide a distant light I'm blind to action, no sign in sight I'm reaching for a reason, but feeling only might We are alive, we will survive Somehow maybe make it back to life But there's too many people, too many people dying Paranoid scribbles up on the wall Schizophrenia the final fall Greed and power, and our leader is lying The corporation is knocking down the door Think I'll write a myth to even the score Freedom just a word to me The talk absurd, can't find a key Nothing left to do now, fade away, let it be
