Wasted Opportunities

Published 2024-07-02
(Verse 1)
Looking back to the days when I was young,
Dreams and aspirations, now they're gone.
What have I become, a hollow shell,
Lost in this world, trapped in my own hell.

(Pre-Chorus)
A nobody with no purpose in sight,
Drifting through life, consumed by the night.
Meaningless existence, wasted opportunities,
I'm drowning in regret, suffocating in these insecurities.

(Chorus)
I'm a shadow of who I wanted to be,
Caught in this darkness, can't break free.
I've wasted my life, I'm drowning in pain,
In this never-ending cycle, I'm going insane.

(Verse 2)
I'm haunted by the dreams I let slip away,
Chasing illusions, now there's nothing left to say.
I'm suffocating in this void of despair,
Searching for redemption, but it's nowhere near.

(Pre-Chorus)
A nobody with no purpose in sight,
Drifting through life, consumed by the night.
Meaningless existence, wasted opportunities,
I'm drowning in regret, suffocating in these insecurities.

(Chorus)
I'm a shell of who I wanted to be,
Trapped in this darkness, can't break free.
I've wasted my life, I'm drowning in pain,
In this never-ending nightmare, I'm going insane.

(Bridge)
But I refuse to surrender to the void,
I'll fight for redemption, I won't be destroyed.
Though the darkness may consume me whole,
I'll rise from the ashes, reclaim my soul.

(Chorus)
I'm breaking free from who I used to be,
Emerging from darkness, I can finally see.
No longer wasting my life, breaking these chains,
In this newfound freedom, my spirit reigns.

    It's called late stage capitalism aka feudalism aka shut up, obey and be a consumer slave. Free time? Haha, a luxury for the rich! What they don't tell you is that money is flexible and everything can literally be fixed. The ones who control the money just don't want it to be.
