That's Not What I Wanted

I've been trying to get away

This nine to five has been engraved in us slowly

Engraved in us slowly

Go to school and get a job

Work thirty years till you can stop

They've controlled me

Yes they've controlled me

While these work boots on my feet are getting worn out

These dreams inside my sleep are becoming foreign

That's not what I wanted

That's just what what I needed

I didn't really need it

I don't want it at all

How can I move forward

These weren't the doctors orders

This superficial sentence has no meaning at all

I've been trying to fight this feeling

Why can't life just have more meaning

I don't know

I've been searching hard but I can't feel it

Have I been reading way too many fairytales

Or should I be writing stories of my own

We're all just moving round backward forwards

We're all just watching the clock till we clock out

I wish the nights would move so much slower

Before we know it our hands they will strike twelve

We're all just counting down

Our days are running out

We're all still searching for the

The map to get us out

We all work way too hard

We're all in way too deep

We better find our way

Before we fall asleep

We're all just counting down

Our days running out

We're all still searching for the

The map to get us out

We all work way too hard

We're all in way too deep

We better find our way

Before we fall asleep
