Schizoid - Something To Look Forward To

STATIC LIFE, SAME REMAINS! RUT OF MINE, NEED A VICE!
MEMORIES HAUNT ON BY!
YOUTH IS OLD, UNCOMFORTABLE BUT...
JUST LIKE YESTERDAY LIKE LAST YEAR
AND THE YEAR BEFORE AND SO ON
SAME OLD SCENES FLICKER ON AND OFF
IN A TIMELESS 3 ROOM PURGATORY!

SO WHAT? WILL PASS THE TIME
WHEN THE CLOCK ON THE WALL STILL WON'T BUDGE
MAKE THE CALLS, TRY TO GRAB
TRY TO GRATIFY, JUST TO LOOK FORWARD
TO SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO

WHEN THE ECHOS BOUNCE BACK,
AND THE SOUND OF MY VOICE,
IS CAKED WITH RUST, IT SIMMERS DOWN, THEN I AM CALM.
THE SMOKE'S STAINED MY MIND,
IT'S DRAINED MY STRENGTH.
DRAGGED ME DOWN, KEPT ME TAME, AND ON AUTO PILOT...
JUST LIKE YESTERDAY, AN ETERNITY,
ALONE WITH MEMORIES OF COPING AS THE
SAME OLD SCENES FLICKER ON AND OFF
IN THIS SCARY AS FUCK, 3 ROOM - PRIVATE - HELL!

BUT THEN ITS TIME TO PUNCH THE CLOCK, SLAVE A WAGE, FALL IN LINE, MONEY, WHY? I COULD BUY
ALL THE WHILE DREAM OF HOME STRESS THE DAY,
WASTE A MIND, LOSE YOUR DRIVE, TURN INSIDE,
FAKE A SMILE, THEN I'M THERE, AT THE FINISH LINE.
