The Vain Persuit

Report to a moderator

You’re in bed with the schemes

Those have haunted your dreams

You’ve become a traitor

You’re torn at the seems

You’re soul it screams

GET OUT!

GET OUT!

GET OUT!

You wish you could listen 

But the voice is become dim

Just another victim

Of the slow compromise

The meaningless end

To a once shining light

No longer individual

But a drudgery to the system

In this endless search

But you will never find meaning

If you cant find yourself

Material positions

Will get you so far

But in the end

You’re just another broken heart

You’ve become the corporate beast

That you've hated so much

Now you ride on moneys back

Like another moron in the melting pot

You are no longer having a face

Just a name 

That people use

To get what they want

Nobody cares about you

You just have what they want

But it’s not too late

GET OUT!

GET OUT!

GET OUT!

Leave it all behind

Put your life on rewind

To before you had anything

But you still had it all

Before you had to crawl

When you could still stand tall

And say happiness is mine

Because you knew that

Only your choices could make you whole

That the world shouldn't be gained

At the loss of your soul

Before you set out on

The self-destructive journey

On your perpetual

Pursuit of happiness
