-want-

Following what I was sent to do, 
Without a choice, this is how it must be.
I can’t say I enjoy my everyday,
But I don’t really think that’s what you see. 

Throwing on a fake mood to throw you off,
Walk out the door and I’m on my way.
Just because I’m good at what I do,
Doesn’t mean I want to stay.

Money is the only thing that matters,
I learned that a long time ago. 
But if I told you, I’d surely mess up,
I just wish I could let you know. 

This is going to be my whole life, isn’t it?
Trapped and unsatisfied, tied and caged. 
But it’s too late now, I didn’t open my mouth,
Slowly losing my dreams I saved. 

But of course, only the score on my test,
Shows just how good I am. 
Even if the gears stopped ticking, 
It seems like even I couldn’t give a damn.

“I hate it, I hate this place so much,”
But I couldn’t say such a thing out loud. 
Just like always, I find a way to hide, 
Because I know I’ll never make a sound.

Walking through with a dull view, 
And waiting, begging for the day, 
Where I can leave this place, 
To come sooner.
