Lately nothing is constant
Nothing is simple
There are no more easy decisions
The line has faded
Now the black and white are mixing into gray
When did they tell us how to deal
I must have been absent that day
When did they hand out the instructions for this life
Nothing prepares you for being alone
Because now all you see is backs that have turned
No one wants to listen
No one seems to care
So you find yourself alone
Out in the cold
You find yourself longing for days past
When everyone was your friend
But they went by so fast
I didn’t want this
No one asked me
I never agreed to this life
But I’m forced to live through hell
All around me are memories of my squandered youth
Mocking me with the recollection of carefree days
Where is the justice in all of this
Where is my reward
What goes around comes around
Well karma must have gotten my address wrong
Cause I still ain’t got mine
I can’t take this much more
Someone stop the world
I wanna get off
