Watching The World Roll Away


Watching The World roll away
Watching People lose their way
Sitting here dissociating on my phone
Sitting here wasting time all alone

Walked ten thousand miles
All in a single spot
All for someone I'll never know

Watching my life fade away
Watching Myself crumble everyday
Sitting here hoping for something new
Sitting here wishing I knew

What I should do
I can do what The World
Asks of me, but I wish
I didn't have to

I've never left my home
Heading nowhere with nothing
To live for, looks like everything
Is going to change and
Still I find Myself

Watching The World roll away
Watching People with dismay
Sitting here consumed by sorrow
Sitting here not sure about tomorrow

All my life, all I've known is
Grief and loneliness
All over something I can't control

It's like I wasn't meant to
Have a home when you are
Born in a place that
Hates you just for existing
What are you supposed to do

Still I remain the same
Even if they bury me
Under the wrong name

Sitting here fearing for my home
Sitting here wondering where to roam
Watching The World go insane
Watching Myself do the same

Forgive me Otis Redding, I'm drunk, depressed, and current affairs in the good Ole USA are nothing to celebrate.
