Your Yellow Brick Road That Leads To a Sea of Regret

your pride is meaningless

and so is your gold

you walk this yellow brick road

but you are the one who only believes in false hope

you are the one who believes in things that are just figments of this generation

where being real is being fake and just an imitation

you follow your brothers and sisters quickly to the grave

where everything is exactly the same

you were the ones standing for nothing

and falling into temptation for every little thing

trying to play a game that you knew you'd lose

and now the games you have played have played you

you tried so hard to fit into a mold 

and as you grew old 

the things you once desired

are the things that have now buried you alive

you're drowning in a sea of regret

you never had a chance living your life with a meaningless mindset
