I’m havin' that dream again,
Where I’m sinkin' into sand,
I wanna run but I can’t move,
I wanna fight but I can’t attack,
I’m tired but wide awake,
I can’t help but think at night,
There may be too much coffee in my blood,
But really it’s a fear of wastin' time,
I press ahead yet I’m fallin' behind,
Don’t even know what I’m hopin' to find,
Man, I’m afraid of workin' 8 to 5,
Just makin' money to survive,
As everything I wanted to be,
Slowly drifts away from me,
Maybe I’m too preoccupied,
With the state of mind I’m in,
But if you knew you could be so much more,
How could something less leave you content?
Can’t help but feel like I’m losin’ my mind,
I look around and there’s nothing to find,
It feels like everyone has been brainwashed and emptied,
They'd rather look at a screen than learn to open their eyes,
Are you really who you want to be?
Do you remember what you used to dream about before,
You resigned to give your life to the machine,
I have a fear, I have got a fear that I’ll never wake up,
I have a fear, nothing that I do will ever be enough,
Cuz it’s never enough,
No it’s never enough.
