I guess this is what I have to do
I never wanted to but somehow knew
The gate swings closed on the world I knew
I guess this is what I have to do
With closed eyes we fantasize about lost days
A young drive to be alive and relevant
Now we're compromised with jaded minds and jealousy
Fixed time gives us no right to live our lives
The way we need it to be
With open eyes we find no light in this rat race
Scratched a path with dragging heels that cannot stray
They all said, with our hard work, we'd make it someday
